Extremal problems in combinatorial semigroup theory

In this thesis we shall consider three types of extremal problems (i.e. problems involving maxima and minima) concerning semigroups. In the first chapter we show how to construct a minimal semigroup presentation that defines a group of non-negative deficiency given a minimal group presentation for t...
