WEIGHTED CORE–EP INVERSE AND WEIGHTED CORE–EP PRE-ORDERS IN A -ALGEBRA

Abstract

We define extensions of the weighted core–EP inverse and weighted core–EP pre-orders of bounded linear operators on Hilbert spaces to elements of a $C^{\ast }$ -algebra. Some properties of the weighted core–EP inverse and weighted core–EP pre-orders are generalized and some new ones are proved. Using the weighted element, the weighted core–EP pre-order, the minus partial order and the star partial order of certain elements, new weighted pre-orders are presented on the set of all $wg$ -Drazin invertible elements of a $C^{\ast }$ -algebra. Applying these results, we introduce and characterize new partial orders which extend the core–EP pre-order to a partial order.
