Abbreviation: SRng$_1$

A \emph{semiring with identity} is a structure $\mathbf{S}=\langle S,+,\cdot,1 \rangle$ of type $\langle 2,2,0\rangle$ such that

$\langle S,+\rangle$ is a commutative semigroup

$\langle S,\cdot, 1\rangle$ is a monoid

$\cdot$ distributes over $+$: $x\cdot(y+z)=x\cdot y+x\cdot z$, $(y+z)\cdot x=y\cdot x+z\cdot x$

Let $\mathbf{S}$ and $\mathbf{T}$ be semirings with zero. A morphism from $\mathbf{S}$ to $\mathbf{T}$ is a function $h:S\to T$ that is a homomorphism:

$h(x+y)=h(x)+h(y)$, $h(x\cdot y)=h(x)\cdot h(y)$, $h(1)=1$

Example 1:

$\begin{array}{lr} f(1)= &1 f(2)= &2 f(3)= &11 f(4)= &73 f(5)= &703 f(6)= & \end{array}$
