If n is the number of nonidempotent elements of a finite semigroup S, it is shown that each sequence of length 2 n of elements of S contains a consecutive subsequence whose product is an idempotent element, and that 2 n is the best possible among all finite semigroups with n nonidempotent elements.
This paper is concerned with the structure of semigroups of implicit operations on the pseudovariety LSl of ΓΏnite locally idempotent and locally commutative semigroups. We depart from a general result of Almeida and Weil to give two descriptions of these semigroups: the ΓΏrst in terms of inΓΏnite word
Using the numeration system associated to the substitution 1 --\* 12, 2 --, 31, 3 ---\* i, we define a binary operation, which generates a semigroup on a subset of N. This semigroup represents the self-similar structure defined by an Iterated Function System (IFS) on the dynamical system associated
