Given the action of a group G on a set X, an endomorphism of X is a function f:X → X which is G-equivariant, that is, it commutes with the action, i.e., f(g⋅ x)= g⋅ f(x), for all x∈ X. The set of endomorphisms of a G-set X is a monoid, with the composition of functions , which we will denote EndG(X). Given subsets U,N⊆ M, we say that U generates M modulo N if it is satisfied that M= ⟨ U ∪ N ⟩. The relative rank of M modulo N is the minimum cardinality of a set U to generate M modulo N. In this work we address the particular case in which G and X are finite to calculate the relative rank of the endomorphism monoid EndG(X) modulo its group of units, denoted by AutG(X). We also address structure situations, such as isomorphisms of AutG(X) and EndG(X) with other known structures.
