Let R be a ring and b, c ∈ R. In this paper, the absorption law for the hybrid (b, c)-inverse in a ring is considered. Also, by using the Green's preorders and relations, we obtain the reverse order law of the hybrid (b, c)-inverse. As applications, we obtain the related results for the (b, c)-inverse. Definition 1.1. Let R be an associative ring and let b, c ∈ R. An element a ∈ R is (b, c)-invertible if there exists y ∈ R such that y ∈ (bRy) ∩ (yRc), yab = b, cay = c. If such y exists, it is unique and is denoted by a (b,c). Drazin [2] also presented an equivalent characterization for the (b, c)-inverse y of a as yay = y, yR = bR and Ry = Rc. As generalizations of (b, c)-inverses, hybrid (b, c)-inverses and annihilator (b, c)-inverses were introduced in [2]. The symbols lann(a) = { ∈ R : a = 0} and rann(a) = {h ∈ R : ah = 0} denote the sets of all left annihilators and right annihilators of a, respectively. Definition 1.2. Let a, b, c, y ∈ R. We say that y is a hybrid (b, c)-inverse of a if yay = y, yR = bR, rann(y) = rann(c). If such y exists, it is unique. In this article, we use the symbol a (b c) to denote the hybrid (b, c)-inverse of a. Definition 1.3. Let a, b, c, y ∈ R. We say that y is a annihilator (b, c)-inverse of a if yay = y, lann(y) = lann(b), lann(y) = lann(c).
