AbstractLet X be any set and P(X) the set of all partial transformations defined on X, that is, all functions α:A→B where A,B are subsets of X. Then P(X) is a semigroup under composition. Let Y be a subset of X. Recently, Fernandes and Sanwong defined PT(X,Y )={α∈P(X):Xα⊆Y } and defined I(X,Y ) to be the set of all injective transformations in PT(X,Y ) . Hence PT(X,Y ) and I(X,Y ) are subsemigroups of P(X) . In this paper, we study properties of the so-called natural partial order ≤ on PT(X,Y ) and I(X,Y ) in terms of domains, images and kernels, compare ≤ with the subset order, characterise the meet and join of these two orders, then find elements of PT(X,Y ) and I(X,Y ) which are compatible. Also, the minimal and maximal elements are described.

LetXbe a nonempty set. For a fixed subsetYofX, letFixX,Ybe the set of all self-maps onXwhich fix all elements inY. ThenFixX,Yis a regular monoid under the composition of maps. In this paper, we characterize the natural partial order onFix(X,Y)and this result extends the result due to Kowol and Mitsch. Further, we find elements which are compatible and describe minimal and maximal elements.

AbstractHiggins [‘The Mitsch order on a semigroup’, Semigroup Forum 49 (1994), 261–266] showed that the natural partial orders on a semigroup and its regular subsemigroups coincide. This is why we are interested in the study of the natural partial order on nonregular semigroups. Of particular interest are the nonregular semigroups of linear transformations with lower bounds on the nullity or the co-rank. In this paper, we determine when they exist, characterise the natural partial order on these nonregular semigroups and consider questions of compatibility, minimality and maximality. In addition, we provide many examples associated with our results.

AbstractFor a semigroup $S$, let ${S}^{1} $ be the semigroup obtained from $S$ by adding a new symbol 1 as its identity if $S$ has no identity; otherwise let ${S}^{1} = S$. Mitsch defined the natural partial order $\leqslant $ on a semigroup $S$ as follows: for $a, b\in S$, $a\leqslant b$ if and only if $a= xb= by$ and $a= ay$ for some $x, y\in {S}^{1} $. In this paper, we characterise the natural partial order on some transformation semigroups. In these partially ordered sets, we determine the compatibility of their elements, and find all minimal and maximal elements.

AbstractMarques-Smith and Sullivan [‘Partial orders on transformation semigroups’, Monatsh. Math.140 (2003), 103–118] studied various properties of two partial orders on P(X), the semigroup (under composition) consisting of all partial transformations of an arbitrary set X. One partial order was the ‘containment order’: namely, if α,β∈P(X) then α⊆β means xα=xβ for all x∈dom α, the domain of α. The other order was the so-called ‘natural order’ defined by Mitsch [‘A natural partial order for semigroups’, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc.97(3) (1986), 384–388] for any semigroup. In this paper, we consider these and other orders defined on the symmetric inverse semigroup I(X) and the partial Baer–Levi semigroup PS(q). We show that there are surprising differences between the orders on these semigroups, concerned with their compatibility with respect to composition and the existence of maximal and minimal elements.

AbstractLet ${ \mathcal{T} }_{X} $ be the full transformation semigroup on a set $X$ and $E$ be a nontrivial equivalence relation on $X$. Denote $$\begin{eqnarray*}{T}_{\exists } (X)= \{ f\in { \mathcal{T} }_{X} : \forall x, y\in X, (f(x), f(y))\in E\Rightarrow (x, y)\in E\} ,\end{eqnarray*}$$ so that ${T}_{\exists } (X)$ is a subsemigroup of ${ \mathcal{T} }_{X} $. In this paper, we endow ${T}_{\exists } (X)$ with the natural partial order and investigate when two elements are related, then find elements which are compatible. Also, we characterise the minimal and maximal elements.

AbstractLet 𝒯X be the full transformation semigroup on the nonempty set X. We fix a nonempty subset Y of X and consider the semigroup of transformations that leave Y invariant, and endow it with the so-called natural partial order. Under this partial order, we determine when two elements of S(X,Y ) are related, find the elements which are compatible and describe the maximal elements, the minimal elements and the greatest lower bound of two elements. Also, we show that the semigroup S(X,Y ) is abundant.

Let S be a bisimple semigroup, let Es denote the set of idempotents of S, and let ≦ denote the natural partial order relation on Es. Let ≤ * denote the inverse of ≦. The idempotents of S are said to be well-ordered if (Es, ≦ *) is a well-ordered set.

For a semigroup S let I(S) be the set of idempotents in S. A natural partial order of I(S) is defined by e ≦ f if ef = fe = e. An element e in I(S) is called a primitive idempotent if e is a minimal non-zero element of the partially ordered set (I(S), ≦). It is easy to see that an idempotent e in S is primitive if and only if, for any idempotent f in S, f = ef = fe implies f = e or f is the zero element of S. One may also easily verify that an idempotent e is primitive if and only if the only idempotents in eSe are e and the zero element. We let П(S) denote the set of primitive idempotent in S.
