The pseudovariety of semigroups of triangular matrices over a finite field
RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications, Tome 39 (2005) no. 1, pp. 31-48.

We show that semigroups representable by triangular matrices over a fixed finite field form a decidable pseudovariety and provide a finite pseudoidentity basis for it.
