Abstract:An element a in a Banach algebra A has ps-Drazin inverse if there exists p2 = p ? comm2(a) such that (a - p)k ? J(A) for some k ? N. Let A be a Banach algebra, and let a,b ? A have ps-Drazin inverses....An element a in a Banach algebra A has ps-Drazin inverse if there exists p2 = p ? comm2(a) such that (a - p)k ? J(A) for some k ? N. Let A be a Banach algebra, and let a,b ? A have ps-Drazin inverses. If a2b = aba and b2a = bab, we prove that 1. ab ? A has ps-Drazin inverse. 2. a + b ? A has ps-Drazin inverse if and only if 1 + adb ? A has ps-Drazin inverse. As applications, we present various conditions under which a 2 x 2 matrix over a Banach algebra has ps-Drazin inverse.Read More
