For every semilattice $\mathcal{A}=(A,+)$, the set $\mathrm{End}(\mathcal{A})$ of its endomorphisms forms a semiring under pointwise addition and composition. We prove that that if $\mathcal{A}$ is finite, then the endomorphism semiring…

Idempotents yield much insight in the structure of finite semigroups and semirings. In this article, we obtain some results on (multiplicatively) idempotents of the endomorphism semiring of a finite chain. We prove that the set of all…

This paper establishes the existence of a finitely based finite semiring whose variety contains a continuum of subvarieties; such a variety is said to be of type \(2^{\aleph_0}\). Using the homomorphism theory of Kneser graphs, we prove…

The 5-element Brandt semigroup $B_2$ admits the structure of a naturally semilattice-ordered inverse semigroup, thus becoming an additively idempotent semiring with the operation of taking greatest lower bounds as the semiring addition. For…

For every group $G$, the set $\mathcal{P}(G)$ of its subsets forms a semiring under set-theoretical union $\cup$ and element-wise multiplication $\cdot$ and forms an involution semigroup under $\cdot$ and element-wise inversion ${}^{-1}$.…

Since for the classification of finite (congruence-)simple semirings it remains to classify the additively idempotent semirings, we progress on the characterization of finite simple additively idempotent semirings as semirings of…

The set of all subsets of any inverse semigroup forms an involution semiring under set-theoretical union and element-wise multiplication and inversion. We find structural conditions on a finite inverse semigroup guaranteeing that neither…

The computational complexity of the circuit evaluation problem for finite semirings is considered, where semirings are not assumed to have an additive or multiplicative identity. The following dichotomy is shown: If a finite semiring is…
