In this paper, we introduce the new notion of n-f-clean rings as a generalization of f-clean rings. Next, we investigate some properties of such rings. We prove that $M_n(R)$ is n-f-clean for any n-f-clean ring R. We also, get a condition under which the denitions of n-cleanness and n-f-cleanness are equivalent.

A ring R is said to be n-clean if every element can be written as a sum of an idempotent and n units. The class of these rings contains clean ring and n-good rings in which each element is a sum of n units. In this paper, we show that for any ring R, the endomorphism ring of a free R-module of rank at least 2 is 2-clean and that the ring B(R) of all ω × ω row and column-finite matrices over any...

Let R be an Abelian exchange ring. We prove the following results: 1. RZ2 and RS3 are clean rings. 2. If G is a group of prime order p and p is in the Jacobson radical of R, then RG is clean. 3. If identity in R is a sum of two units and G is a locally finite group, then every element in RG is a sum of two units. 4. For any locally finite group G, RG has stable range one. All rings in this note...

We introduce the notion of clean ideal, which is a natural generalization of clean rings. It is shown that every matrix ideal over a clean ideal of a ring is clean. Also we prove that every ideal having stable range one of a regular ring is clean. These generalize the corresponding results for clean rings. 1. Introduction. Let R be a unital ring. We say that R is a clean ring in case every elem...

An element $a$ in a ring $R$ is very clean in case there exists‎ ‎an idempotent $ein R$ such that $ae = ea$ and either $a‎- ‎e$ or $a‎ + ‎e$ is invertible‎. ‎An element $a$ in a ring $R$ is very $J$-clean‎ ‎provided that there exists an idempotent $ein R$ such that $ae =‎ ‎ea$ and either $a-ein J(R)$ or $a‎ + ‎ein J(R)$‎. ‎Let $R$ be a‎ ‎local ring‎, ‎and let $sin C(R)$‎. ‎We prove that $Ain K_...

For an arbitrary ring $R$, the zero-divisor graph of $R$, denoted by $Gamma (R)$, is an undirected simple graph that its vertices are all nonzero zero-divisors of $R$ in which any two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if either $xy=0$ or $yx=0$. It is well-known that for any commutative ring $R$, $Gamma (R) cong Gamma (T(R))$ where $T(R)$ is the (total) quotient ring of $R$. In this...

A commutative ring A is said to be clean if every element of A can be written as a sum of a unit and an idempotent. This definition dates back to 1977 where it was introduced by W. K. Nicholson [7]. In 2002, V. P. Camillo and D. D. Anderson [1] investigated commutative clean rings and obtained several important results. In [4] Han and Nicholson show that if A is a semiperfect ring, then A[Z2] i...

A ring is called clean if every element is the sum of a unit and an idempotent. Throughout the last 30 years several characterizations of commutative clean rings have been given. We have compiled a thorough list, including some new equivalences, in hopes that in the future there will be a better understanding of this interesting class of rings. One of the fundamental properties of clean rings i...

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 Mn(R) is strongly clean for each integer n > 0 if R is Henselian and we show that the converse holds if either the residue class field of R is algebraically closed or R is an integrally closed domain or R is ...
