AVERAGE AND EXTREMAL VALUES OF COMPLETE WORK-DONE ON TRANSFORMATION SEMIGROUPS
Abstract
In this paper, we study a complete work-done function defined on three important transformation semigroups: the full transformation semigroup (Tn), the partial transformation semigroup (Pn), and the symmetric inverse semigroup (In). For each class, closed formulae are obtained for the total and average values of the complete work-done function. Extremal values are also determined for (Tn) and (Pn). The results show that algebraic restrictions such as partiality and injectivity significantly influence the magnitude and distribution of the complete work-done values. Numerical tables and graphical illustrations are provided for
1 ≤ n ≤ 10 to support the theoretical findings.
