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,…,n}, which we denote by OCIn. In particular, we characterise the Green’s relations and their starred analogues in OCIn. We also compute the rank of OCIn as 2n-1.
