Summary:
We show in an additive inverse regular semiring $(S, +, \cdot )$ with $E^{\bullet }(S)$ as the set of all multiplicative idempotents and $E^+(S)$ as the set of all additive idempotents, the following conditions are equivalent: (i) For all $e, f \in E^{\bullet }(S)$, $ef \in E^+(S)$ implies $fe\in E^+(S)$. (ii) $(S, \cdot )$ is orthodox. (iii) $(S, \cdot )$ is a semilattice of groups. This result generalizes the corresponding result of regular ring.
