Abstract:
The closed classes in $P_k$ defined by a single endomorphism are investigated. It is proved that every such class is positive closed. In the case of nonidentical idempotent endomorphism the corresponding class is positive precomplete in $P_k$. For $k=2,3$ all positive precomplete classes in $P_k$ are defined by the same endomorphisms. All positive submaximal classes in $P_3$ are found. Bibl. 11.
