Descending endomorphisms of groups (Q6613065)

In the article under review, the authors first introduce the notion of descending endomorphisms of groups, then study their basic properties. In particular, the characterization of descending endomorphisms for a large class of abelian groups is given. Further, the authors also give a characterization of descending endomorphisms of direct products of groups and then they obtain a procedure to determine all the descending endomorphisms of a direct product using the descending endomorphisms of the direct factors.
