\textbf{\Large Regular semigroups}
\quad\href{http://math.chapman.edu/cgi-bin/structures?action=edit;id=Regular_semigroups}{edit}

\abbreviation{RSgrp}
\begin{definition}
An element $x$ of a semigroup $S$ is said to be \emph{regular} if exists $y$ in $S$ such that $xyx=x$. 
\end{definition}

\begin{definition}
A \emph{regular semigroup} is a \href{Semigroups.pdf}{semigroups} $\mathbf{S}=\left\langle
S,\cdot \right\rangle $ such that
each element is regular.
\end{definition}


\begin{definition}
A \emph{regular semigroup} is a structure $\mathbf{S}=\left\langle
S,\cdot \right\rangle $, where $\cdot $ is an infix binary operation, called
the \emph{semigroup product}, such that


$\cdot $ is associative:  $(xy)z=x(yz)$


each element is \emph{regular}:  $\exists y(xyx=x)$
\end{definition}

\begin{definition}
We say that $y$ is an \emph{inverse} of an element $x$ in a semigroup $S$ if $x=xyx$ and $y=yxy$.  
\end{definition}


\begin{morphisms}
Let $\mathbf{S}$ and $\mathbf{T}$ be regular semigroups. A morphism from 
$\mathbf{S}$ to $\mathbf{T}$ is a function $h:S\rightarrow T$ that is a
homomorphism: 

$h(xy)=h(x)h(y)$

\end{morphisms}
\begin{basic_results}
If $x$ is a regular element of a semigroup (say $x=xyx$), then $x$ has an inverse, namely $yxy$, since $x=x(yxy)x$ and $yxy=(yxy)x(yxy)$. 
\end{basic_results}
\begin{examples}
\begin{example}
$\langle T_X,\circ\rangle $, the \emph{full transformation semigroup} of functions on $X$, with composition.

$\langle End(V),\circ\rangle $, the \emph{endomorphism monoid} of a vector space $V$, with composition.
