Koliha, J. J.; Rakočević, V. Invertibility of the sum of idempotents. (English) Zbl 1014.16031 Linear Multilinear Algebra 50, No. 4, 285-292 (2002). Summary: We study necessary and sufficient conditions for the invertibility of the sum \(f+g\) when \(f\) and \(g\) are idempotents in a unital ring or bounded linear operators in Hilbert or Banach spaces. We describe the relation between the invertibility of \(f+g\) and \(f-g\).
