Abstract

If SS is a numerical semigroup, let m(S,k)m(S,k) denote the number of ideals of SS with codimension kk and let n(S,k)n(S,k) denote the number of ideals of SS with conductor kk. We compute the generating function of the sequence m(S,k)m(S,k) for all numerical semigroups of embedding dimension 22 and for S=3,n+2,2n+1S = \langle 3,n+2,2n+1\rangle. We also prove that the sequence n(S,k)n(S,k) becomes stationary after a certain term and compute the stationary terms for numerical semigroups of the form a,a+1\langle a,a+1 \rangle.
