Abstract
A numerical set with Frobenius number is a set of integers with and , and its atom monoid is A(S) = \setpres{n \in \Zbb}{n+s \in Ss \in S}. Let be the number of numerical sets having divided by the total number of numerical sets with Frobenius number . We show that the sequence is decreasing and converges to a number (with accuracy to within ). We also examine the singularities of the generating function for . Parallel results are obtained for the ratio of the number of symmetric numerical sets with by the number of symmetric numerical sets with Frobenius number . These results yield information regarding the asymptotic behavior of the number of finite additive 2-bases.
