Skew Pairs of Idempotents in Partial Transformation Semigroups

Let S be a regular semigroup. A pair (e,f) of idempotents of S is said to be a skew pair of idempotents if fe is idempotent, but ef is not. T. S. Blyth and M. H. Almeida (T. S. Blyth and M. H. Almeida, skew pair of idempotents in transformation semigroups, Acta Math. Sin. (English Series), 22 (2006), 1705–1714) gave a characterization of four types of skew pairs—those that are strong, left regular, right regular, and discrete—existing in a full transformation semigroup T(X). In this paper, we do in this line for partial transformation semigroups
