Abstract
We initiate the algebraic study of the semigroup of one-to-one order-preserving partial contraction mappings of a totally ordered set \(\{1,2,\ldots ,n\}\), which we denote by \(\mathcal {OCI}_{n}\). In particular, we characterise the Green’s relations and their starred analogues in \(\mathcal {OCI}_{n}\). We also compute the rank of \(\mathcal {OCI}_{n}\) as \(2n-1\).
