Summary:
In this paper, we introduce a subclass of strongly clean rings. Let $R$ be a ring with identity, $J$ be the Jacobson radical of $R$, and let $J^{\#}$ denote the set of all elements of $R$ which are nilpotent in $R/J$. An element $a\in R$ is called \emph {very $J^{\#}$-clean} provided that there exists an idempotent $e\in R$ such that $ae=ea$ and $a-e$ or $a+e$ is an element of $J^{\#}$. A ring $R$ is said to be \emph {very $J^{\#}$-clean} in case every element in $R$ is very $J^{\#}$-clean. We prove that every very $J^{\#}$-clean ring is strongly $\pi$-rad clean and has stable range one. It is shown that for a commutative local ring $R$, $A(x)\in M_2\big (R[[x]]\big )$ is very $J^{\#}$-clean if and only if $A(0)\in M_2(R)$ is very $J^{\#}$-clean. Various basic characterizations and properties of these rings are proved. We obtain a partial answer to the open question whether strongly clean rings have stable range one. This paper is dedicated to Professor Abdullah Harmanci on his 70th birthday
