Abstract
A numerical monoid is an additive submonoid of the non-negative integers. Given a numerical monoid , consider the family of "shifted" monoids obtained by adding to each generator of . In this paper, we characterize the Ap\'ery set of in terms of the Ap\'ery set of the base monoid when is sufficiently large. We give a highly efficient algorithm for computing the Ap\'ery set of in this case, and prove that several numerical monoid invariants, such as the genus and Frobenius number, are eventually quasipolynomial as a function of .
