The Rank of the Semigroup of All Order-Preserving Transformations on a Finite Fence

Abstract: A zigzag (or fence) order is a special partial order on a (finite) set. In this paper, we consider the semigroup TF n of all order-preserving transformations on an n-element zigzag ordered set. We determine the rank of TF n and provide a minimal generating set for TF n. Moreover, a formula for the number of idempotents in TF n is given.

“…The survey [10] presents these results and similar ones for other classes of transformation monoids, in particular, for monoids of order-preserving transformations and for some of their extensions. More recently, for instance, the papers [1,2,5,[11][12][13][14][15]23,33,34] are dedicated to the computation of the ranks of certain (classes of transformation) semigroups or monoids. Now, let G = (V , E) be a simple graph (i.e.…”

“…For example, the rank of the extensively studied monoid of all order-preserving transformations of a n-chain is n. This result was proved by Gomes and Howie [12] in 1992. More recently, for instance, the papers [1,8,9,10,11,26] are dedicated to the computation of the ranks of certain classes of transformation semigroups or monoids.…”

“…On the other hand, an exact formula for the number of endomorphisms on (n, ) for even as well as odd n was given in [13]. Recently, in [8], the authors determine the rank of T F n . Recall that the rank of a semigroup S, denoted by rankS, is the minimal size of a generating set of S, rankS := min{|A| : A ⊆ S, A generates S}.…”
