Complementary Numerical Sets

Combinatorics 2020-09-15 v1

Abstract

A numerical set SS is a cofinite subset of N\mathbb{N} which contains 00. We use the natural bijection between numerical sets and Young diagrams to define a numerical set S~\widetilde{S}, such that their Young diagrams are complements. We determine various properties of S~\widetilde{S}, particularly with an eye to closure under addition (for both SS and S~\widetilde{S}), which promotes a numerical set to become a numerical semigroup.
