Summary: We first investigate factorizations of elements of the semigroup $S$ of upper triangular matrices with nonnegative entries and nonzero determinant, provide a formula for $\rho (S)$, and, given $A\in S$, also provide formulas for $l(A)$, $L(A)$ and $\rho (A)$. As a consequence, open problem 2 and problem 4 presented in N. Baeth et al. (2011), are partly answered. Secondly, we study the semigroup of upper triangular matrices with only positive integral entries, compute some invariants of such semigroup, and also partly answer open Problem 1 and Problem 3 in N. Baeth et al. (2011). (English)
