Abstract

Let Tn be the full transformation semigroup of a finite set, say Xn = {1, 2, ..., n}, and for a given full transformation α : Xn → Xn let F(α) = {x ∈ Xn : xα = x} be its set of fixed points. In this note we obtain and discuss formulae for F(n, r, k) = |{α ∈ Tn : |Im α| = r ∧ |F(α)| = k}|.
