Partial automorphisms and injective partial endomorphisms of a finite undirected path. (English) Zbl 1467.05137

Summary: In this paper, we study partial automorphisms and, more generally, injective partial endomorphisms of a finite undirected path from Semigroup Theory perspective. Our main objective is to give formulas for the ranks of the monoids \(\text{IEnd}(P_n)\) and \(\text{PAut}(P_n)\) of all injective partial endomorphisms and of all partial automorphisms of the undirected path \(P_n\) with \(n\) vertices. We also describe Green’s relations of \(\text{PAut}(P_n)\) and \(\text{IEnd}(P_n)\) and calculate their cardinals.
