Let Y be a subspace of a topological space X. Then S(X, Y) denotes the semigroup, under composition, of all continuous selfmaps of X which also carry Y into Y. In the special case Y = X, the simpler notation S(X)is used. We have devoted several recent papers ([4], [7] and [8]) to the problem of determining when S(Z) and S(X, Y)are isomorphic and, more generally, when S(Z) is a homomorphic image of S(X, Y). In this paper, we investigate the analogous problem for certain semigroups of functions on spaces which were introduced in [5]. These include semigroups of closed functions which are treated in further detail.
