Lattice Paths and Order-preserving Partial Transformations
Abdallah Laradji, Abdullahi Umar · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2013
Let ${\cal PO}_n$ be the semigroup of all order-preserving partial transformations of a finite chain. It is shown that there exist bijections between the set of certain lattice paths in the Cartesian plane that start at $(0,0)$, end at $(n-1,n-1)$, and certain subsemigroups of ${\cal PO}_n$. Several consequences of these bijections were discussed.
