Abstract
Let be a numerical semigroup with embedding dimension . Define to be one plus the largest integer not in , and define to be the number of elements in less than . It was asked by Wilf whether always holds. We prove an asymptotic version of this conjecture: we show that for a fixed positive integer and any , the inequality holds for all but finitely many numerical semigroups satisfying .
