On the Regularity and Clean Properties of Matrices over Dual Numbers
Abstract
In this paper, we study regularity and clean-type decompositions for matrices over dual numbers. We characterize the von Neumann regularity of dual matrices by establishing a necessary and sufficient compatibility condition between their real and dual components. At the element level, we determine the conditions under which an individual dual matrix ℳ = A + Bε is regular, π-regular, nil-clean, or strongly nil-clean. Using the solvability of Sylvester matrix equations, we show that the matrix ring over dual numbers Mn(𝔻) is strongly π-regular and strongly clean. Moreover, Mn(𝔻) is π-regular, clean, r-clean, strongly r-clean, NR-clean, and strongly NR-clean. On the other hand, Mn(𝔻) fails to be regular, strongly regular, nil-clean, strongly nil-clean, and uniquely NR-clean, although it inherits several strong decomposition properties from Mn(ℝ). Our characterizations at the element level show exactly when each property holds.

At the element level, we determine the conditions under which an individual dual matrix ℳ = A + Bε is regular, π-regular, nil-clean, or strongly nil-clean. Using the solvability of Sylvester matrix equations, we show that the matrix ring over dual numbers M_n(𝔻) is strongly π-regular and strongly clean. Moreover, M_n(𝔻) is π-regular, clean, r-clean, strongly r-clean, NR-clean, and strongly NR-clean. On the other hand, M_n(𝔻) fails to be regular, strongly regular, nil-clean, strongly nil-clean, and uniquely NR-clean, although it inherits several strong decomposition properties from M_n(ℝ).
