Abstract

 In this paper, we study several conditions on ordered regular semigroups containing a zero element. In particular, we consider the natural and semigroup order and their connections to the properties of being principally ordered, Dubreil-Jacotin and BZS. We study also the set of biggest inverses in such a semigroup and we characterize subalgebras generated by two comparable idempotents.
