An element of a ring R with identity is called strongly clean if it is the sum of an idempotent and a unit that commute, and R is called strongly clean if every element of R is strongly clean. Let R be a noncommutative local ring, a criterion in terms of solvability of a simple quadratic equation in R is obtained for $M_2$(R) to be strongly clean.

A *-ring R is called (strongly) *-clean if every element of R is the sum of a projection and a unit (which commute with each other). In this note, some properties of *-clean rings are considered. In particular, a new class of *-clean rings which called strongly ${\pi}$-*-regular are introduced. It is shown that R is strongly ${\pi}$-*-regular if and only if R is ${\pi}$-regular and every idempotent of R is a projection if and only if R/J(R) is strongly regular with J(R) nil, and every idempotent of R/J(R) is lifted to a central projection of R. In addition, the stable range conditions of *-clean rings are discussed, and equivalent conditions among *-rings related to *-cleanness are obtained.

Let R be a ring with identity and P(R) denote the prime radical of R. An element r of a ring R is called strongly P-clean, if there exists an idempotent e such that $r-e=p{\in}P$(R) with ep = pe. In this paper, we determine necessary and sufficient conditions for an element of a trivial Morita context to be strongly P-clean.

An element of a ring is called strongly nil clean provided that it can be written as the sum of an idempotent and a nilpotent element that commute. A ring is strongly nil clean in case each of its elements is strongly nil clean. We investigate, in this article, the strongly nil cleanness of 2${\times}$2 matrices over local rings. For commutative local rings, we characterize strongly nil cleanness in terms of solvability of quadratic equations. The strongly nil cleanness of a single triangular matrix is studied as well.

An element a ∈ R is strongly rad-clean provided that there exists an idempotent e ∈ R such that a - e ∈ U(R), ae = ea and eae ∈ J(eRe). In this article, we completely determine when a 2 × 2 matrix over a commutative local ring is strongly rad clean. An application to matrices over power-series is also given.

An $n{\times}n$ matrix A over a commutative ring is strongly clean provided that it can be written as the sum of an idempotent matrix and an invertible matrix that commute. Let R be an arbitrary commutative ring, and let $A(x){\in}M_n(R[[x]])$. We prove, in this note, that $A(x){\in}M_n(R[[x]])$ is strongly clean if and only if $A(0){\in}M_n(R)$ is strongly clean. Strongly clean matrices over quotient rings of power series are also determined.

An element of a ring is called strongly nil clean provided that it can be written as the sum of an idempotent and a nilpotent element that commute. We characterize, in this article, the strongly nil cleanness of $2{\times}2$ and $3{\times}3$ matrices over $R[x]/(x^2-1)$ where $R$ is a commutative local ring with characteristic 2. Matrix decompositions over fields are derived as special cases.

In 2013, Diesl defined a nil clean ring as a ring of which all elements can be expressed as the sum of an idempotent and a nilpotent. Furthermore, in 2017, Y. Zhou, S. Sahinkaya, G. Tang studied nil clean group rings, finding both necessary condition and sufficient condition for a group ring to be a nil clean ring. We have proposed a necessary and sufficient condition for a group ring to be a uniquely nil clean ring. Additionally, we provided theorems for general nil clean group rings, and some examples of trivial-center groups of which group ring is not nil clean over any strongly nil clean rings.

A ring R is called quasipolar if for every a 2 R there exists $p^2=p{\in}R$ such that $p{\in}comm^2{_R}(a)$, $ a+p{\in}U(R)$ and $ap{\in}R^{qnil}$. The class of quasipolar rings lies properly between the class of strongly ${\pi}$-regular rings and the class of strongly clean rings. In this paper, we determine when a $2{\times}2$ matrix over a local ring is quasipolar. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a $2{\times}2$ matrix ring to be quasipolar are obtained.

Let R be a 2-primal strongly 2-nil-clean ring. We prove that every square matrix over R is the sum of a tripotent and a nilpotent matrices. The similar result for rings of bounded index is proved. We thereby provide a large class of rings over which every matrix is the sum of a tripotent and a nilpotent matrices.
