On relative ranks of full transformation semigroups

Communications in Algebra, 1998
For a semigroup S and a set the relative rank of S modulo A is the minimal cardinality of a setB such that generates S. We show that the relative rank of an infinite full transformation semigroup modulo the symmetric group, and also modulo the set of all idempotent mappings, is equal to 2. We also characterise all pairs of mappings which, together with

The class includes the measures of directional mobility encountered in the literature. We apply our measure to compare income mobility between
