Let R be an associative ring with identity, C(R) denote the center of R, and g(x) be a polynomial in the polynomial ring C(R)[x]. R is called strongly g(x)-clean if every element r ∈ R can be written as r = s+u with g(s) = 0, u a unit of R, and su = us. The relation between strongly g(x)-clean rings and strongly clean rings is determined, some general properties of strongly g(x)-clean rings are...

The notions of nil, nilpotent or PI-rings (= rings satisfying a polynomial identity) play an important role in the ring theory (see e.g. [8], [11], [20]). Banach algebras with these properties have been studied considerably less and the existing results are scattered in literature. The only exception is the work of Krupnik [13], where the Gelfand theory of Banach PI-algebras is presented. Howev...

We define two classes of rings calling them weakly clean rings and weakly exchange rings both equipped with the strong property. Although the classes of weakly clean rings and weakly exchange rings are different, their two proper subclasses above do coincide. This extends results due to W. Chen (Commun. Algebra, 2006) and Chin-Qua (Acta Math. Hungar., 2011). We also completely characterize stro...
