The semigroup of incline Hall matrices (Q1886534)

Inclines are the additively idempotent semirings in which the products are less than or equal to either factor. The inclines generalize Boolean algebra, fuzzy algebra and distributive lattice. Incline matrices are matrices over inclines. The authors generalize some results given by \textit{H. H. Cho} [ibid. 191, 151--163 (1993; Zbl 0787.05018)] on regular matrices in the semigroup of Boolean Hall matrices and on fuzzy Hall matrices, and also some results given by \textit{Y. Tan} [Semigroup Forum 61, No.~2, 303--314 (2000; Zbl 0970.20047)] on Hall matrices over a distributive lattice. The authors prove that any incline Hall matrix has index and give some necessary and sufficient condition for an incline Hall matrix to be regular in the semigroup of incline Hall matrices. The paper also characterizes Green's relations on this semigroup, and studies the sandwich semigroups of incline Hall matrices.
