In a ring R, if x y : R and if x y x = x, then y is called a weak inverse for x. (A ring is called von Neumann regular if every element has a unique weak inverse.)


 -- 𝑔 is a weak inverse for 𝑓
 weak-inverse : (𝑓  𝑔  𝑓) ≈̇B 𝑓
 weak-inverse a = antisym B lt gt
  where
  lt : 𝑓 (𝑔 (𝑓 a)) ≤B 𝑓 a
  lt = fg≤id R (𝑓 a)
  gt : 𝑓 a ≤B 𝑓 (𝑔 (𝑓 a))
  gt = fhom R (gf≥id R a)

 -- 𝑓 is a weak inverse of 𝑔
 weak-inverse' : (𝑔  𝑓  𝑔) ≈̇A 𝑔

  where
  lt : 𝑔 (𝑓 (𝑔 b)) ≤A 𝑔 b
  lt = ghom R (fg≤id R b)
  gt : 𝑔 b ≤A 𝑔 (𝑓 (𝑔 b))
  gt = gf≥id R (𝑔 b)
