Abstract
Let Y be a subset of X and T(X, Y) the set of all functions from X into Y. Then, under the operation of composition, T(X, Y) is a subsemigroup of the full transformation semigroup T(X). Let E be an equivalence on X. Define a subsemigroup \(T_E(X,Y)\) of T(X, Y) by
Then \(T_E(X,Y)\) is the semigroup of all continuous self-maps of the topological space X for which all E-classes form a basis carrying X into a subspace Y. In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for \(T_E(X,Y)\) to be regular and characterize Green’s relations on \(T_E(X,Y)\). Our work extends previous results found in the literature.
