Abstract

In this article, we consider the monoid of all monotone and order-decreasing partial transformations denoted as DORPn\mathcal{DORP}_{n} on an nn ordered chain [n]={1,,n}[n]=\{1, \ldots,n\}, its two-sided ideal I(n,p)={ρDORPn:Imρp}I(n,p)= \{\rho \in \mathcal{DORP}_{n} : \, |Im \, \rho| \leq p\} and the Rees quotient RQp(n){RQ}_{p}(n) of the ideal I(n,p)I(n,p). We compute the order of the monoid DORPn\mathcal{DORP}_{n} and show that for any semigroup SS in {DORPn,I(n,p),RQp(n)}\{\mathcal{DORP}_{n}, \, I(n,p), \, {RQ}_{p}(n)\}, SS is abundant for all values of nn. In particular, we show that the Rees quotient RQp(n){RQ}_{p}(n), is a non-regular 00-*bisimple abundant semigroup. In addition, we compute the ranks of the Rees quotient RQp(n){RQ}_{p}(n) and the two-sided ideal I(n,p)I(n,p). Finally, the rank of DORPn\mathcal{DORP}_{n} is determined to be 3n23n-2.

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
