=====Partial monoids===== Abbreviation: **PMon** ====Definition==== A \emph{partial monoid} is a structure $\mathbf{A}=\langle A,\cdot,e\rangle$, where $\langle A,\cdot\rangle$ is a [[partial semigroup]] and $e$ is an identity for $\cdot$: $x\cdot e=x=e\cdot x$ for all $x\in A$. ==Morphisms== Let $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{B}$ be partial monoids. A morphism from $\mathbf{A}$ to $\mathbf{B}$ is a function $h:A\rightarrow B$ that is a homomorphism: $h(e)=e$ and if $x\cdot y\ne *$ then $h(x \cdot y)=h(x) \cdot h(y)$. ====Examples==== Example 1: Any partial semigroup with a new element $e$ and $\cdot$ extended with $x\cdot e=x=e\cdot x$. ====Basic results==== ====Properties==== ^[[Classtype]] |first-order | ^[[Equational theory]] | | ^[[Quasiequational theory]] | | ^[[First-order theory]] | | ^[[Locally finite]] | | ^[[Residual size]] | | ^[[Congruence distributive]] | | ^[[Congruence modular]] | | ^[[Congruence $n$-permutable]] | | ^[[Congruence regular]] | | ^[[Congruence uniform]] | | ^[[Congruence extension property]] | | ^[[Definable principal congruences]] | | ^[[Equationally def. pr. cong.]] | | ^[[Amalgamation property]] | | ^[[Strong amalgamation property]] | | ^[[Epimorphisms are surjective]] | | ====Finite members==== http://mathv.chapman.edu/~jipsen/uajs/PMon.html $\begin{array}{lr} f(1)= &1\\ f(2)= &3\\ f(3)= &15\\ f(4)= &112\\ f(5)= &\\ f(6)= &\\ f(7)= &\\ f(8)= &\\ f(9)= &\\ f(10)= &\\ \end{array}$ ====Subclasses==== [[Partial commutative monoids]] [[Monoids]] ====Superclasses==== [[Partial semigroups]] ====References====
