#### Abstract

In 2003, Marques-Smith and Sullivan described the join ${\Omega}$ of the 'natural order' $\leq$ and the 'containment order' $\subseteq$ on P(X), the semigroup under composition of all partial transformations of a set X. And, in 2004, Pinto and Sullivan described all automorphisms of PS(q), the partial Baer-Levi semigroup consisting of all injective ${\alpha}{\in}P(X)$ such that ${\mid}X{\backslash}X{\alpha}\mid=q$, where $N_0{\leq}q{\leq}{\mid}X{\mid}$. In this paper, we describe the group of automorphisms of R(q), the largest regular subsemigroup of PS(q). In 2010, we studied some properties of $\leq$ and $\subseteq$ on PS(q). Here, we characterize the meet and join under those orders for elements of R(q) and PS(q). In addition, since $\leq$ does not equal ${\Omega}$ on I(X), the symmetric inverse semigroup on X, we formulate an algebraic version of ${\Omega}$ on arbitrary inverse semigroups and discuss some of its properties in an algebraic setting.
