On transformations of index 1

Authors: LEYLA BUGAY, OSMAN KELEKCİ

Abstract: The index and the period of an element a of a finite semigroup are defined as the smallest values of m \geq 1 and r \geq 1 such that a^{m+r}=a^m, respectively. If m=1 then a is called an element of index 1. The aim of this paper is to find some properties of the elements of index 1 in T_n, which we call transformations of index 1.

Keywords: Transformations, orbit, index, period
