Abstract

For g \ge 0, let n g denote the number of numerical semi-groups of genus g. A conjecture by Maria Bras-Amor\'os in 2008 states that the inequality n g \ge n g--1 + n g--2 should hold for all g \ge 2. Here we show that such an inequality holds for the very large subtree of numerical semigroups satisfying c \le 3m, where c and m are the conductor and multiplicity, respectively. Our proof is given in the more flexible setting of gapsets, i.e. complements in N of numerical semigroups.
