Regularity and Green’s relations on semigroups of transformations with restricted range that preserve an equivalence

Let Y be a subset of X and T(X, Y) the set of all functions from X into Y. Then, under the operation of composition, T(X, Y) is a subsemigroup of the full transformation semigroup T(X). Let E be an equivalence on X. Define a subsemigroup $$T_E(X,Y)$$ of T(X, Y) by $$begin{aligned} T_E(X,Y)={alpha in T(X,Y):forall (x,y)in E, (xalpha ,yalpha )in E}. end{aligned}$$Then $$T_E(X,Y)$$ is the semigroup of all continuous self-maps of the topological space X for which all E-classes form a basis carrying X into a subspace Y. In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for $$T_E(X,Y)$$ to be regular and characterize Green’s relations on $$T_E(X,Y)$$. Our work extends previous results found in the literature.
