Let $X_n = \{1,2,\dots,n\}$ be a finite set $(n\geq 2)$ and $T_n$ the full transformation semigroup on $X_n$. For a positive integer $l\leq n-1$, we define $$T_n(l) = \{\alpha\in T_n \colon \forall x,y\in X_n,\, |x-y| = l \;\Rightarrow\;…

For a positive integer $n$, the full transformation semigroup $T_n$ consists of all self maps of the set $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ under composition. Any finite semigroup $S$ embeds in some $T_n$, and the least such $n$ is called the (minimum…

Let ${\cal I}_n$ be the symmetric inverse semigroup on $X_n = \{1, 2,..., n\}$ and let ${\cal DP}_n$ and ${\cal ODP}_n$ be its subsemigroups of partial isometries and of order-preserving partial isometries of $X_n$, respectively. In this…

In the present paper, a submonoid of the well studied monoid $POI_n$ of all order-preserving partial injections on an $n$-element chain is studied. The set $IOF_n^{par}$ of all partial transformations in $POI_n$ which are fence-preserving…

A permutation group is called semiprimitive if each of its normal subgroups is either transitive or semiregular. Given nontrivial finite transitive permutation groups $L_1$ and $L_2$ with $L_1$ not semiprimitive, we construct an infinite…

Let $\mathcal{PO}_n$ be the monoid of all order-preserving partial transformations on $X_n=\{1,\dots, n\}$ with the natural order, and let $\mathcal{O}_n$ and $\mathcal{POI}_n$ denote its submonoids of order-preserving full and injective…

A set $A$ is MSTD (more-sum-than-difference) if $|A+A|>|A-A|$. Though MSTD sets are rare, Martin and O'Bryant proved that there exists a positive constant lower bound for the proportion of MSTD subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots ,r\}$ as…

We determine upper bounds for the maximum order of an element of a finite almost simple group with socle T in terms of the minimum index m(T) of a maximal subgroup of T: for T not an alternating group we prove that, with finitely many…

In this note we consider the monoid $\mathcal{PODI}_n$ of all monotone partial permutations on $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ and its submonoids $\mathcal{DP}_n$, $\mathcal{POI}_n$ and $\mathcal{ODP}_n$ of all partial isometries, of all order-preserving…

We prove that the minimal cardinality of the semitransitive subsemigroup in the singular part $\IS_n\setminus \S_n$ of the symmetric inverse semigroup $\IS_n$ is $2n-p+1$, where $p$ is the greatest proper divisor of $n$, and classify all…

Let $X$ be a nonempty set, and let $\mathcal{T}_X$ be the full transformation semigroup on $X$. For a partition $\mathcal{P} = \{X_i \;|\; i\in I\}$ of $X$, we consider the semigroup $T(X, \mathcal{P}) = \{f\in \mathcal{T}_X\;|\; \forall…

There is strong evidence for the belief that `almost all' finite semigroups, whether we consider multiplication operations on a fixed set or their isomorphism classes, are nilpotent of index 3 (3-nilpotent for short). The only known method…

Let $X$ be a nonempty set and $\mathcal{P}=\{X_i\colon i\in I\}$ a partition of $X$. Denote by $T(X)$ the full transformation semigroup on $X$, and $T(X, \mathcal{P})$ the subsemigroup of $T(X)$ consisting of all transformations that…
