Regular semigroups with weakly simplistic orthodox transversals

Weakly simplistic orthodox transversals are introduced in this paper and some characterizations associated with them are obtained. An example is given to demonstrate that weakly simplistic orthodox transversals are proper generalisations of left simplistic orthodox transversals. The related results of Blyth and Almeida Santos on left simplistic inverse transversals obtained in 1996 and Kong and Luo on left simplistic orthodox transversals obtained in 2011 are generalised and amplified. A structure theorem of regular semigroups with weakly simplistic orthodox transversals is also established.
