We study finiteness conditions on essential extensions of simple modules over
the quantum plane and over some Noetherian down-up algebras. The results
achieved improve the ones obtained in [arXiv:0906.2930] for down-up algebras.
Motivated by the construction of new examples of Artin-Schelter regular
algebras of global dimension four, J.J. Zhang and J. Zhang (2008) introduced an
algebra extension $A_P[y_1,y_2;\sigma,\delta,\tau]$ of $A$, which they called a
double Ore extension. This construction seems to be similar to that of a
two-step iterated Ore extension over $A$. The aim of this paper is to describe
those double Ore extensions which can be presented as iterated Ore extensions
of the form $A[y_1;\sigma_1, \delta_1][y_2;\sigma_2, \delta_2]$.
