On a decomposition of square matrices over a ring with identity.
A ring is feebly nil-clean if for any there exist two orthogonal idempotents and a nilpotent such that . Let be a 2-primal feebly nil-clean ring. We prove that every matrix ring over is feebly nil-clean. The result for rings of bounded index is also obtained. These provide many classes of rings over which every matrix is the sum of orthogonal idempotent and nilpotent matrices.
Let be a positive integer, and the set of all -circulant matrices over the Boolean algebra , . For any fixed -circulant matrix () in , we define an operation “” in as follows: for any in , where is the usual product of Boolean matrices. Then is a semigroup. We denote this semigroup by and call it the sandwich semigroup of generalized circulant...
