We study the semigroup BFnω, which is introduced in the paper [Visnyk Lviv Univ. Ser. Mech.-Mat. 2020, 90, 5-19 (in Ukrainian)], in the case when the ω-closed family Fn generated by the set {0,1,…,n}. We show that the Green relations D and J coincide in BFnω, the semigroup BFnω is isomorphic to the semigroup In+1ω(→conv) of partial convex order isomorphisms of (ω,⩽) of the rank ⩽n+1, and BFnω admits only Rees congruences. Also, we study shift-continuous topologies on the semigroup BFnω. In particular, we prove that for any shift-continuous T1-topology τ on the semigroup BFnω every non-zero element of BFnω is an isolated point of (BFnω,τ), BFnω admits the unique compact shift-continuous T1-topology, and every ωd-compact shift-continuous T1-topology is compact. We describe the closure of the semigroup BFnω in a Hausdorff semitopological semigroup and prove the criterium when a topological inverse semigroup BFnω is H-closed in the class of Hausdorff topological semigroups.
