On isolated subsemigroups of order-decreasing transformation semigroups
Melek Yağcı, Hayrullah Ayık · Hacettepe Journal of Mathematics and Statistics · 2025
For $n\in \mathbb{N}$, let $\mathcal{D}_{n}$ be the semigroup of all order-decrasing transformations on $X_{n}=\{1,\ldots ,n\}$, under its natural order. In this paper, we determine isolated, completely isolated, and (left/right) convex subsemigroups of $\mathcal{D}_{n}$. Furthermore, for $\{ 1\} eq U\subset X_{n}$ which contains $1$, we find the rank of $\mathcal{D}_{n}[U] =\{ \alpha \in \mathcal{D}_{n} :U\subseteq X_{n} \}$ which is a convex subsemigroup of $\mathcal{D}_{n}$.
