Abstract:

Let PCn be the semigroup of all decreasing and order-preserving partial transformations on [n]. For n≥3, we shall show that the semigroup PCn is generated by idempotents of rank n-1, and that its rank and idempotent rank are both equal to 2n-1.

Key words:  transformation semigroup; decreasing; order-preserving; idempotent rank; rank
