For a finite-dimensional algebra
and a nonnegative integer
,
we characterize when the set
of additive equivalence classes of tilting modules with projective dimension at most
has a minimal
(or equivalently, minimum) element. This generalizes results of Happel and Unger. Moreover, for
an
-Gorenstein
algebra
with
, we construct a
minimal element in
.
As a result, we give equivalent conditions for a
-Gorenstein
algebra to be Iwanaga–Gorenstein. Moreover, for a
-Gorenstein algebra
and its factor algebra
, we show that there is
a bijection between
and the set
of additive equivalence classes of basic support
-tilting
-modules, where
is an idempotent
such that
is the additive generator of the category of projective-injective
-modules.
