Abstract

Since its introduction by Symons, the semigroup of maps with restricted range has been studied in the context of transformations on a set, or of linear maps on a vector space. Sets and vector spaces being particular examples of independence algebras, a natural question that arises is whether by taking the semigroup T(A,B)T(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B}) of all endomorphisms of an independence algebra A\mathcal{A} whose image lie in a subalgebra B\mathcal{B}, one can obtain corresponding results as in the cases of sets and vector spaces. In this paper, we put under a common framework the research from Sanwong, Sommanee, Sullivan, Mendes-Gon\c{c}alves and all their predecessors. We describe Green's relations as well as the ideals of T(A,B)T(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B}) following their lead. We then take a new direction, completely describing all of the extended Green's relations on T(A,B)T(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B}). We make no restriction on the dimension of our algebras as the results in the finite and infinite dimensional cases generally take the same form.
