Abstract: Pr"{u}fer domains and subclasses of integral domains such as Dedekind domains admit characterizations by means of the properties of their ideal lattices. Interestingly, a Leavitt path algebra L, in spite of being non-commutative and possessing plenty of zero divisors, seems to have its ideal lattices possess the characterizing properties of these special domains. In [8] it was shown that the ideals of L satisfy the distributive law, a property of Pr"{u}fer domains and that L is a multiplication ring, a property of Dedekind domains. In this paper, we first show that L satisfies two more characterizing properties of Pr"{u}fer domains which are the ideal versions of two theorems in Elementary Number Theory, namely, for positive integers a,b,c, gcd(a,b)cdotoperatornamelcm(a,b)=acdotb and acdotoperatornamegcd(b,c)=operatornamegcd(ab,ac). We also show that L satisfies a characterizing property of almost Dedekind domains in terms of the ideals whose radicals are prime ideals. Finally, we give necessary and sufficient conditions under which L satisfies another important characterizing property of almost Dedekind domains, namely the cancellative property of its non-zero ideals.
