Abstract
A semigroup whose congruences form a chain with respect to inclusion is called a Δ-semigroup. Schein [8] and Tamura [9] described the commutative Δ-semigroups, Etterbeek [3] characterized the medial Δ-semigroups and Trotter [10] generalized their results for exponential Δ-semigroups.
The purpose of this paper is to extend the examination to obtain a description of weakly exponential Δ-semigroups.
