    Let \(A\) be a complex unital Banach algebra. An element \(a\) of \(A\) is said to be positive if \(V(a)=\{ f(a) : f\in A^{\ast}, \| f \| \leq 1, f(1)=1 \} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^{+}\). Given an invertible element \(u\), we can consider the following norm on \(A\), \(\| x \|_{u} = \| u^{1/2} x u^{-1/2} \| \) for each \(x \in A\). Let \(e\), \(f\) be invertible positive elements of \(A\). An element \(a\) is said to be weighted Moore-Penrose invertible with weights \(e\) and \(f\) if there exists a normalized generalized inverse \(b\) of \(a\) such that \(ab\) is a Hermitian element of \((A,\| \cdot \|_{e})\) and \(ba\) is a Hermitian element of \((A, \| \cdot \|_{f})\). Finally, \(a \in A\) is said to be weighted EP with with weights \(e\) and \(f\) if \(a\) is weighted Moore-Penrose invertible with weights \(e\) and \(f\) and \(a\) commutes with its inverse. In this paper, the authors characterize such elements using several factorizations.
