Centrepoint Journal (Science Edition), 30(1), 116 - 126.https://uilspace.unilorin.edu.ng/handle/123456789/17644This paper investigates the subsemigroup structure of the rhotrix bicyclic semigroup obtained as a coordinatewise extension of the classical bicyclic semigroup. Order-defined subsemigroups determined by the componenetwise relations 􀝌􀝅􀵒􀝍􀝅,􀝌􀝅􀵑􀝍􀝅 and 􀝌􀝅=􀝍􀝅 are introduced and analyzed. It is shown that the order-decreasing subsemigroup forms a subsemigroup but is neither regular nor inverse, with its regular elements coinciding precisely with the diagonal elements. The order-increasing subsemigroup is established to be anti-isomorphic to the order-decreasing case, while the diagonal subsemigroup is proved to be commutative idempotent semigroup and is isomorphic to a semilattice under componentwise maximum. These results provide structural classification of order-defined subsemigroups of the rhotrix bicyclic semigroup.
