A partial transformation alpha on an n-element chain X-n is called order-preserving if x <= y implies x alpha <= y alpha for all x, y in the domain of alpha and it is called extensive if x <= x alpha for all x in the domain of alpha. The set of all partial order-preserving extensive transformations on X-n forms a semiband POEn. We determine the maximal subsemigroups as well as the maximal subsemibands of POEn.
The study of the semigroups OPn, of all orientation-preserving transformations on an n-element chain, and ORn, of all orientation-preserving or orientation-reversing transformations on an n-element chain, has began in [17] and [5]. In order to bring more insight into the subsemigroup structure of OPn and ORn, we characterize their maximal subsemigroups.
