Abstract

In this paper we consider the monoid $mathcal {OR}_{n}$ of all full transformations on a chain with n elements that preserve or reverse the orientation, as well as its submonoids $mathcal {OD}_{n}$ of all order-preserving or order-reversing elements, $mathcal {OP}_{n}$ of all orientation-preserving elements and $mathcal {O}_{n}$ of all order-preserving elements. By making use of some well known presentations, we show that each of these four monoids is a quotient of a bilateral semidirect product of two of its remarkable submonoids.
