On three submonoids of the dihedral inverse monoid on a finite set

Abstract

In this paper we consider three submonoids of the dihedral inverse monoid $\mathcal{DI}_n$, namely its submonoids $\mathcal{OPDI}_n$, $\mathcal{MDI}_n$ and $\mathcal{ODI}_n$ of all orientation-preserving, monotone and order-preserving transformations, respectively. For each of these three monoids, we compute the cardinal, give descriptions of Green's relations and determine the rank.
