Abstract

The concept of the inverse along an element was introduced by Mary in 2011. Later, Zhu et al. introduced the one-sided inverse along an element. In this paper, we first give a new existence criterion for the one-sided inverse along a product and characterize the existence of Moore–Penrose inverse by means of one-sided invertibility of certain element in a ring. In addition, we show that \(a\in S^{\dagger }\bigcap S^{\#}\) if and only if \((a^{*}a)^{k}\) is invertible along a if and only if \((aa^{*})^{k}\) is invertible along a in a \(*\)-monoid S, where k is an arbitrary given positive integer. Finally, we prove that the inverse of a along \(aa^{*}\) coincides with the core inverse of a under the condition \(a\in S^{\{1,4\}}\) in a \(*\)-monoid S.
