Abstract


This paper is motivated by the result of W. Li, he presents an infinite family of graphs - complements of cycles - which possess a regular monoid. We show that these regular monoids are completely regular. Furthermore, we characterize the regular, orthodox and completely regular endomorphisms of the join of complements of cycles, i.e. (n−3)-regular graph of order n.


Keywords


Complement of cycle; join; endomorphism monoid; complectly regular; orthodox
