    We establish different characterizations for the invertibility of ab − ba in a ring when and that are related to the invertibility of elements expressed as certain functions of a, b and suitable elements from the center of the ring. As a consequence we get some interesting results in the matrix and operator settings: for a co-EP matrix (or operator) A we list all linear combinations of that are invertible independently of the choice of the scalars. In addition, we consider the co-EP-ness of idempotents and tripotents.
