A characterization of $n$-associative, monotone, idempotent functions on an interval that have neutral elements

Abstract

We investigate monotone idempotent $n$-ary semigroups. One of the main result of this article is the generalisation of Czogala-Drewniak Theorem, which describes the idempotent monotone associative functions having neutral element. Furthermore we present the full characterisation of idempotent, monotone, $n$-associative functions on an interval which have neutral elements. %{\bl defined}. Our description provides that monotone, idempotent, $n$-ary semigroups are quasitrivial.
