A classification of maximal idempotent-generated subsemigroups of finite orientation-preserving singular partial transformation semigroups. (Q415541)

Let \(SPT_n\) denote the semigroup of all singular partial transformations on \(\{1,2,\dots,n\}\). An element \(f\in SPT_n\) is called `order preserving' if \(i\leq j\) implies \(f(i)\leq f(j)\) for all \(i,j\in\{1,2,\dots,n\}\). All order preserving elements of \(SPT_n\) form a subsemigroup denoted \(PO_n\). An element \(f\in SPT_n\) is called `orientation preserving' if it preserves the cyclic ``order'' \(1<2<\cdots<n<1\) in a similar way. All orientation preserving elements of \(SPT_n\) form a subsemigroup denoted \(SPOP_n\). -- In this paper the author classifies all maximal idempotent-generated subsemigroups in both \(SPOP_n\) and \(PO_n\).
