Abstract

Let XX be a nonempty set and let T(X)T(X) be the full transformation semigroup on XX. The main objective of this paper is to study the subsemigroup Ω(X,Y)\overline{\Omega}(X, Y) of T(X)T(X) defined by Ω(X,Y)={fT(X) ⁣:Yf=Y},\overline{\Omega}(X, Y) = \{f\in T(X)\colon Yf = Y\}, where YY is a fixed nonempty subset of XX. We describe regular elements in Ω(X,Y)\overline{\Omega}(X, Y) and show that Ω(X,Y)\overline{\Omega}(X, Y) is regular if and only if YY is finite. We characterize unit-regular elements in Ω(X,Y)\overline{\Omega}(X, Y) and prove that Ω(X,Y)\overline{\Omega}(X, Y) is unit-regular if and only if XX is finite. We characterize Green's relations on Ω(X,Y)\overline{\Omega}(X, Y) and prove that D=J\mathcal{D} =\mathcal{J} on Ω(X,Y)\overline{\Omega}(X, Y) if and only if YY is finite. We also determine ideals of Ω(X,Y)\overline{\Omega}(X, Y) and investigate its kernel. This paper extends several results appeared in the literature.
