Enumeration of certain semigroups of transformations
Dr. Abdullahi Umar
Enumerative problems of an essentially combinatorial nature arise naturally in the study of semigroups of transformations. Amongst other things, enumerating the sizes of various equivalence classes on semigroups of transformations is our main objective in this project.
Studies in semigroups of contraction mappings of a finite chain
Dr. Abdullahi Umar (co-PI)
A general systematic study of the semigroups of partial contraction mappings of a finite chain and their various subsemigroups of order-preserving/reversing and/or order-decreasing transformations is undertaken in this project.
