A semigroup is a set $S$ together with a binary operation that is associative. Examples of semigroups are the set of finite strings over a fixed alphabet (under concatenation) and the positive integers (under addition, maximum, or minimum). A monoid is a semigroup with a neutral element. Of course, any group is also a monoid/semigroup.

Size of the kernel (minimal ideal) of a finite semigroup
Let $A$ be an irreducible nonnegative $N\times N$ integer matrix with constant row sum $D$. Let $A_1, \dots, A_D$ be nonnegative integer matrices, each with constant row sum $1$, such that $\sum_k A_k …

Factoring a function from a finite set to itself
Let $S$ be a finite set and $f: S \to S$ be a function. Let $k = |f(S)|$ and let $\alpha$ be the partition of $S$ into $f$-fibers, i.e. $\alpha = \{ \alpha_t \}_{t \in f(S)}$ where $\alpha_t = f^{-1}( …

Effect on finite transformation semigroup under a particular modification of the generators
The following question arises in connection with problems in automata theory related to the road problem. Let $f_1, f_2: [N] \to [N]$ be maps such that the transformation semigroup $S = \langle f_1, f …
