Some families of strongly clean rings. (Q2370784)

A ring \(R\) with identity is called strongly clean if every element of \(R\) is the sum of an idempotent and a unit that commute with each other. For a commutative local ring and for an arbitrary integer \(n\geq 2\), this paper deals with the question whether the strongly clean property of \(\mathbb{M}_n(R[\![x]\!])\), \(\mathbb{M}_n(R[x]/(x^k))\), and \(\mathbb{M}_n(RC_2)\) follows from the strongly clean property of \(\mathbb{M}_n(R)\). This is ``yes'' if \(n=2\) by a known result.
