For any set X denote by m(X) the Banach space of all bounded real-valued functions on X, equipped with the supremum norm, and denote by (X) the semigroup (under functional composition) of all transformations of X, i.e. mappings with domain X and range contained in X. A pair (X, S), where S is a subsernigroup of (X), will be called a transformation semigroup. Important examples are obtained by letting X be the underlying set in an abstract semigroup and considering the pairs (X, S1) and (X, S2), where S1 [Sn] denotes the set of left [right] multiplication mappings of X. We shall call transformation semigroups in these classes of examples l-[r-] semigroups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
