Weak core and central weak core inverse in a proper $*$-ring

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the notion of weak core and central weak core inverse in a proper * -ring. We further elaborate on these two classes by producing a few representation and characterization of the weak core and central weak core invertible elements. We investigate additive properties and a few explicit expressions for these two classes of inverses through other generalized inverses. In addition to these, numerical examples are provided to validate a few claims on weak core and central weak core inverses.
