The authors study several kinds of generalized inverses in unital Banach algebras. They study, in particular, the Drazin inverses, Moore-Penrose inverses, group inverses and symmetric inverses. They also introduce and study the concept of asymptotic generalized invertibility. The main topic is the problem of continuity of a generalized inverse. The paper is self-contained and the first sections can also serve as a brief introduction to the theory (they are devoted to the problem of uniqueness and existence, to special characterizations of group and Drazin invertibility and to inverse closedness of subalgebras with respect to generalized invertibilities). The motivation of some results lies in numerical analysis, this concerns, in particular, the last section devoted to regularization and asymptotic splitting of approximation numbers.
