Groups that together with any transformation generate regular or idempotent generated semigroups

This webpage is the companion page to the article ‘Groups that together with any transformation generate regular semigroups or idempotent generated semigroups’ by J. Araújo, J. D. Mitchell, & Csaba Schneider. On this page you can find GAP code and the output it produces that verify several of the assertions made in the paper.

Follow the steps below to load the functions required to verify the assertions made in the paper:

2. ensure that you have the latest version of the Semigroups package for GAP (at least version 2.0).
3. download the files: companion.g and verify.tst and move them to the GAP directory (the one containing lib, bin, pkg and so on).
4. start GAP and load the Semigroups package by typing LoadPackage("semigroups");.
5. read the file companion.g into GAP by typing Read("companion.g");
6. all the tests below can be run by typing Test("verify.tst"); in around 1 minute. Alternatively, you can type the commands in the files below individually directly into GAP.
