Locally maximal idempotent-generated subsemigroups of singular order-preserving transformation semigroups. (Q2502262)

A transformation \(f\) of the set \(\{1,2,\dots,n\}\) is said to be `order preserving' provided that \(x\leq y\) implies \(f(x)\leq f(y)\). Let \(O_n\) denote the semigroup of all singular order preserving transformations of \(\{1,2,\dots,n\}\). In the paper under review the authors describe all subsemigroups of \(O_n\), which are maximal in the set of all proper subsemigroups of \(O_n\) generated by idempotents.
