Minimal generating set of union two isomorphic semigroups

22 Views Asked by At

Assume that there exists a pair of finite semigroups $S$ and $T$ such that $S\cong T$. Let $X$ and $Y$ be the minimal generating sets of $S$ and $T$, respectively.

  • If $X\cup Y$ is a semigroup, then can we say anything about its minimal generating set?
