It is well known (see [5]) that the maximal right quotient ring of a ring R is (von Neumann) regular if and only if R is (right) non-singular (every large right ideal is dense). In [8] it was shown that for a semigroup S, the regularity of Q(S), the maximal right quotient semigroup [7], is independent of the non-singularity of S. Nevertheless, right non-singular semigroups form an important class of semigroups.
