โฆ Synopsis
This paper introduces new semigroups of binary relations that arose naturally from investigating the transfer of information between automata and semigroups associated with automata. In particular we introduce a new multiplication on binary relations by means of an arbitrary but fixed "sandwich" relation. R.J. Plemmons and M. West have characterized Green's relations in the usual semigroup of binary relations, and we use these to investigate Green's relations in our semigroups. We give algorithms for constructing idempotents and regular elements in these new semigroups.
