Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a binary relation in the set of all (b, c)-invertible elements of a ring, defined in the manner like minus, star, sharp, core, and dual core partial orders. We prove that this binary relation is actually an equivalence relation and we investigate some of its properties. Furthermore, we define another equivalence relation on the set of all (b, c)-invertible elements of a ring, as an improvement of the previous mentioned equivalence relation. In addition, the equivalence criteria are given for the equality of (b, c)-related idempotents of two elements and their (b, c)-invertibility is studied.
