A ring R is a weakly stable ring provided that aR + bR = R implies that there exists $y\;{\in}\;R$ such that $a\;+\;by\;{\in}\;R$ is right or left invertible. In this article, we characterize weakly stable rings by virtue of $2{\times}2$ invertible matrices over them. It is shown that a ring R is a weakly stable ring if and only if for any $A\;{\in}GL_2(R)$, there exist two invertible lower triangular L and K and an invertible upper triangular U such that A = LUK, where two of L, U and K have diagonal entries 1. Related results are also given. These extend the work of Nagarajan et al.

A ring R has weakly stable range one provided that aR+bR=R implies that there exists a $y{\in}R$ such that $a+by{\in}R$ is right or left invertible. We prove, in this paper, that every regular element in an exchange ring having weakly stable range one is the sum of an idempotent and a weak unit. This generalize the corresponding result of one-sided unit-regular ring. Extensions of power comparability and power cancellation are also studied.

Let R be an associative unital ring with an endomorphism α and α-derivation δ. The constant products of elements in Ore extension rings, when the coefficient ring is reversible, is investigated. We show that if f(x) = ∑ⁿ_i=0 a_ixⁱ and g(x) = ∑^m_j=0 b_jx^j be nonzero elements in Ore extension ring R[x; α, δ] such that g(x)f(x) = c ∈ R, then there exist non-zero elements r, a ∈ R such that rf(x) = ac, when R is an (α, δ)-compatible ring which is reversible. Among applications, we give an exact characterization of the unit elements in R[x; α, δ], when the coeficient ring R is (α, δ)-compatible. Furthermore, it is shown that if R is a weakly 2-primal ring which is (α, δ)-compatible, then J(R[x; α, δ]) = N iℓ(R)[x; α, δ]. Some other applications and examples of rings with this property are given, with an emphasis on certain classes of NI rings. As a consequence we obtain generalizations of the many results in the literature. As the final part of the paper we construct examples of rings that explain the limitations of the results obtained and support our main results.
