In this paper, we introduce a new notion which we call a generalized weakly ideal. We also investigate characterizations of strongly regular rings with the condition that every maximal left ideal is a generalized weakly ideal. It is proved that R is a strongly regular ring if and only if R is a left GP-V-ring whose every maximal left (right) ideal is a generalized weakly ideal. Furthermore, if R is a left SGPF ring, and every maximal left (right) ideal is a generalized weakly ideal, it is shown that R/J(R) is strongly regular. Several known results are improved and extended.

We make a study of two generalizations of regular rings, concentrating our attention on the structure of idempotents. A ring R is said to be right attaching-idempotent if for $a{\in}R$ there exists $0{\neq}b{\in}R$ such that ab is an idempotent. Next R is said to be generalized regular if for $0{\neq}a{\in}R$ there exist nonzero $b{\in}R$ such that ab is a nonzero idempotent. It is first checked that generalized regular is left-right symmetric but right attaching-idempotent is not. The generalized regularity is shown to be a Morita invariant property. More structural properties of these two concepts are also investigated.

A ring R called left SF if its simple left modules are at. Regular rings are known to be left SF-rings. However, till date it is unknown whether a left SF-ring is necessarily regular. In this paper, we prove the strong regularity of left (right) complement bounded left SF-rings. We also prove the strong regularity of a class of generalized semi-commutative left SF-rings.
