A ring $R$ is trinil clean if every element in $R$ is the sum of a tripotent and a nilpotent. If $R$ is a 2-primal strongly 2-nil-clean ring, we prove that $M_n(R)$ is trinil clean for all $n\in {\Bbb N}$. Furthermore, we show that the…

A ring $R$ is feckly clean provided that for any $a\in R$ there exists an element $e\in R$ and a full element $u\in R$ such that $a=e+u, eR(1-e)\subseteq J(R)$. We prove that a ring $R$ is feckly clean if and only if for any $a\in R$, there…

Using the concept of ring diadic range 1 we proved that a commutative Bezout ring is an elementary divisor ring iff it is a ring diadic range 1.

A ring $R$ is called strongly clean if every element of $R$ is the sum of a unit and an idempotent that commute. By {\rm SRC} factorization, Borooah, Diesl, and Dorsey \cite{BDD051} completely determined when ${\mathbb M}_n(R)$ over a…

Let $R$ be a commutative local ring. It is proved that $R$ is Henselian if and only if each $R$-algebra which is a direct limit of module finite $R$-algebras is strongly clean. So, the matrix ring $\mathbb{M}_n(R)$ is strongly clean for…

In this paper, we study a new class of rings, called $\sqrt{J}$-clean rings. A ring in which every element can be expressed as the addition of an idempotent and an element from $\sqrt{J(R)}$ is called a $\sqrt{J}$-clean ring. Here,…

It is proven that every commutative semihereditary Bezout ring in which any regular element is Gelfand (adequate), is an elementary divisor ring.

An element $a\in R$ is very clean provided that there exists an idempotent $e\in R$ such that $ae=ea$ and either $a-e$ or $a+e$ is invertible. A ring $R$ is very clean in case every element in $R$ is very clean. We explore the necessary and…

Recognizing when a ring is a complete matrix ring is of significant importance in algebra. It is well-known folklore that a ring $R$ is a complete $n\times n$ matrix ring, so $R\cong M_{n}(S)$ for some ring $S$, if and only if it contains a…

Let $R$ be an associative ring with identity, $C(R)$ denote the center of $R$, and $g(x)$ be a polynomial in the polynomial ring $C(R)[x]$. $R$ is called strongly $g(x)$-clean if every element $r \in R$ can be written as $r=s+u$ with…

This study explores in-depth the structure and properties of the so-called {\it strongly $\Delta$-clean rings}, that is a novel class of rings in which each ring element decomposes into a sum of a commuting idempotent and an element from…

In \cite{C, LCC}, it is proven that if an element $ab$ in a ring is (generalized) Drazin invertible, then so is $ba$. In this paper, we give a new and short proof of it in an effective manner. In particular, we show that if $ab$ is strongly…

A ring R is a strongly 2-nil-clean if every element in R is the sum of two idempotents and a nilpotent that commute. A ring R is feebly clean if every element in R is the sum of two orthogonal idempotents and a unit. In this paper, strongly…

An element $a$ of a ring $R$ is called \emph{strongly $J$-clean} provided that there exists an idempotent $e\in R$ such that $a-e\in J(R)$ and $ae=ea$. A ring $R$ is \emph{strongly $J$-clean} in case every element in $R$ is strongly…

A *-ring $R$ is called a strongly nil-*-clean ring if every element of $R$ is the sum of a projection and a nilpotent element that commute with each other. In this article, we show that $R$ is a strongly nil-*-clean ring if and only if…

A longstanding open question is whether every strongly clean ring (ring in which every element is strongly clean, i.e., is the sum of an idempotent and a unit which commute with each other) is Dedekind-finite (has the property that every…

We consider in-depth and characterize in certain aspects those rings whose non-units are strongly nil-clean in the sense that they are a sum of commuting nilpotent and idempotent. In addition, we examine those rings in which the non-units…

Let $R$ be an associative ring with identity and let $N$ be a nil ideal of $R$. It is shown that units of $R/N$ can be lifted to units in $R$. Under some mild conditions on the ring, a procedure is given to determine those lifted units in a…

A ring $R$ is uniquely (strongly) clean provided that for any $a\in R$ there exists a unique idempotent $e\in R \big(\in comm(a)\big)$ such that $a-e\in U(R)$. Let $R$ be a uniquely bleached ring. We prove, in this note, that $R$ is…

In what follows we generalize the notion of a complemented ring to rings that are not necessarily reduced. We then determine how our concepts fit in with other well-known classes of rings.
