The aim of this paper is to classify all monogenic ternary semigroups, up to isomorphism. We divide them to two groups: finite and infinite. We show that every infinite monogenic ternary semigroup is isomorphic to the ternary semigroup O, the odd positive integers with ordinary addition. Then we prove that all finite monogenic ternary semigroups with the same index...

This paper studies FA-presentable structures and gives a complete classification of the finitely generated FA-presentable cancellative semigroups. We show that a finitely generated cancellative semigroup is FA-presentable if and only if it is a subsemigroup of a virtually abelian group.

–a notion of amenability for topological semigroups is introduced. a topological semigroup s iscalled johnson amenable if for every banach s -bimodule e , every bounded crossed homomorphism froms to e* is principal. in this paper it is shown that a discrete semigroup s is johnson amenable if and only if1(s) is an amenable banach algebra. also, we show that if a topological semigroup s is johns...

expansive soils undergo volumetric changes in response to changes in their moisture content that this characteristic causes irreparable problems particularly in civil projects. investigators have proposed chemical methods as well as mechanical treatments to stabilize the expansive soils. in this study, stabilization of expansive soil with randomly distributed fiber was investigated by reinforci...

In this paper, we give some characterizations of intraregular semigroups by the properties of their (∈,∈ ∨qk)-fuzzy right ideals, (∈,∈ ∨qk)-fuzzy left ideals, (∈,∈ ∨qk)-fuzzy interior ideals, (∈,∈ ∨qk)fuzzy bi-ideals and (∈,∈ ∨qk)-fuzzy generalized bi-ideals. 2010 AMS Classification: 03E72, 20M12

We investigate the class of quasitrivial semigroups and provide various characterizations of the subclass of quasitrivial and commutative semigroups as well as the subclass of quasitrivial and order-preserving semigroups. We also determine explicitly the sizes of these classes when the semigroups are defined on finite sets. As a byproduct of these enumerations, we obtain several new integer seq...

This paper studies automatic structures for subsemigroups of Baumslag–Solitar semigroups (that is, semigroups presented by ⟨x, y | (yx, xy)⟩ where m,n ∈ N). A geometric argument (a rarity in the field of automatic semigroups) is used to show that if m > n, all of the finitely generated subsemigroups of this semigroup are [right-] automatic. If m < n, all of its finitely generated subsemigroups ...

We exploit the techniques developed in [Le] to study N -expansive homeomorphisms on surfaces. We prove that when f is a 2-expansive homeomorphism defined on a compact boundaryless surface M with nonwandering set Ω(f) being the whole of M then f is expansive. This condition on the nonwandering set cannot be relaxed: we present an example of a 2-expansive homeomorphisms on a surface with genus 2 ...

In the present paper we give a partially negative answer to a conjecture of Ghahramani, Runde and Willis. We also discuss the derivation problem for both foundation semigroup algebras and Clifford semigroup algebras. In particular, we prove that if S is a topological Clifford semigroup for which Es is finite, then H1(M(S),M(S))={0}.

the main purpose of this paper is to establish a relation between universality of certain p-compactifications of a semitopological semigroup and their corresponding enveloping semigroups. in particular, we show that if we take p to be the property that the enveloping semigroup of a compactification of a semitopological semigroup s is left simple, a group, or the trivial singleton semigroup, the...
