Clean elements in Abelian rings. (Q841191)

An element in a ring \(R\) is said to be clean if it is the sum of a unit and an idempotent. \(R\) is said to be clean if all of its elements are clean. If every idempotent in \(R\) is central, then \(R\) is called Abelian. In this paper the author obtains some conditions equivalent to being clean in an Abelian ring.
