Synopsis

Let In be the symmetric inverse semigroup on Xn = {1,…, n}, let Sln be the subsemigroup of strictly partial one-to-one self-maps of Xn and let = { α ∊ SIn: x} ≦ x = U = ∅= be the semigroup of all partial one-to-one decreasing maps including the empty or zero map of Xn. In this paper it is shown that is an (irregular, for n ≧ 2) type A semigroup with n D*-classes and D* = I*. Further, it is shown that is generated by the n(n + l)/2 quasi-idempotents in
