Partial monoids
Abbreviation: PMon
Definition
A \emph{partial monoid} is a structure A=⟨A,⋅,e⟩, where ⟨A,⋅⟩ is a partial semigroup and
e is an identity for ⋅: x⋅e=x=e⋅x for all x∈A.
Morphisms
Let A and B be partial monoids. A morphism from A to B is a function h:A→B that is a homomorphism: h(e)=e and if x⋅y≠∗ then h(x⋅y)=h(x)⋅h(y).
Examples
Example 1: Any partial semigroup with a new element e and ⋅ extended with x⋅e=x=e⋅x.
