Cardinalities of OPCTn and OPDCTn are established.
Minimal generating sets for the semigroups are identified.
The count of idempotents in OPDCTn is determined.

Abstract

Let OPCTn (OCTn) denote the semigroup consisting of all orientation-preserving (order-preserving) full contraction mappings on the finite chain Xn = 1 < ··· < n, and let OPDCTn (ODCTn) denote the subsemigroup of OPCTn (OCTn) consisting of all order-decreasing transformations. The purpose of this paper is to determine the cardinalities of OPCTn, OPDCTn, N (ODCTn), and N (OPDCTn), and to identify generating sets of minimal size, thereby determining their ranks. Moreover, the number of idempotents of OPDCTn is determined.
