In this paper we characterize all $2times 2$ idempotent and nilpotent matrices over an integral domain and then we characterize all $2times 2$ strongly nil-clean matrices over a PID. Also, we determine when a $2times 2$ matrix  over a UFD is nil-clean.

The classes of clean and nil-clean rings are closed with respect standard constructions as direct products and (triangular) matrix rings, cf. [12] resp. [4], while the classes of weakly (nil-)clean rings are not closed under these constructions. Moreover, while all matrix rings over fields are clean, [12] when we consider nil-clean rings there are strongly restrictions: if a matrix ring over a ...

We show that if $R$ is a ring with an arbitrary idempotent $e$ such that $eRe$ and $(1-e)R(1-e)$ are both strongly nil-clean rings‎, ‎then $R/J(R)$ is nil-clean‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎under certain additional circumstances‎, ‎$R$ is also nil-clean‎. ‎These results somewhat improves on achievements due to Diesl in J‎. ‎Algebra (2013) and to Koc{s}an-Wang-Zhou in J‎. ‎Pure Appl‎. ‎Algebra (2016)‎. ‎...

A ring R is uniquely (nil) clean in case for any $a in R$ there exists a uniquely idempotent $ein R$ such that $a-e$ is invertible (nilpotent). Let $C =(A V W B)$ be the Morita Context ring. We determine conditions under which the rings $A,B$ are uniquely (nil) clean. Moreover we show that the center of a uniquely (nil) clean ring is uniquely (nil) clean.

in this paper, we introduce the new notion of strongly j-clean rings associatedwith polynomial identity g(x) = 0, as a generalization of strongly j-clean rings. we denotestrongly j-clean rings associated with polynomial identity g(x) = 0 by strongly g(x)-j-cleanrings. next, we investigate some properties of strongly g(x)-j-clean.

An element is known a strongly nil* clean if a=e1 - e1e2 + n , where e1,e2 are idempotents and nilpotent, that commute with one another. ideal I of ring R called each element. We investigate some its fundamental features, as well relationship to the nil ideal.
