The monoid of monotone and decreasing partial transformations on a finite chain
Abstract
In this article, we consider the monoid of all monotone and order-decreasing partial transformations denoted as on an ordered chain , its two-sided ideal and the Rees quotient of the ideal . We compute the order of the monoid and show that for any semigroup in , is abundant for all values of . In particular, we show that the Rees quotient , is a non-regular bisimple abundant semigroup. In addition, we compute the ranks of the Rees quotient and the two-sided ideal . Finally, the rank of is determined to be .

Comments
The results in this paper were obtained in October 2024 during a postdoctoral visit to Sultan Qaboos University, by the first author. The paper was first submitted to the Semigroup Forum, Prof. via Victoria Gould in December 2024, and subsequently other Journals. It is imperative that we have to arxiv these results pending the outcome of review after submission to other Journals
