A semigroup S is called left ample if it can be embedded in the symmetric inverse IX of partial bijections a non-empty set X such that image closed under unary operation α → αα⁻¹, where α⁻¹ IX. Right semigroups are defined dually. both and right ample. monoid (left, right) as semigroup. We observe dominion an subsemigroup coincides with generated by it. then determine dominions certain submonoi...

MagneMotion and Old Dominion University undertook a cooperative agreement to demonstrate the MagneMotion M3 urban maglev technology on an existing elevated guideway on the ODU campus in Norfolk VA. M3 was designed for urban applications with speeds up to 100 mph, acceleration up to 1.6 m/s2, and a 60 foot turn radius. Figure 1 shows the “sled” vehicle on the ODU guideway. This vehicle was weigh...
