Abstract

Let MN0M \subseteq \mathbb{N}_{0} be the additive submonoid generated by 22 and 33. In a recent work, Christensen, Gipson and Kulosman proved that MM is not a Matsuda monoid of type 22 and type 33 and they have raised the question of whether MM is a Matsuda monoid of type \ell for any prime \ell. Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, Daileda showed that MM is not a Matsuda monoid of type \ell for any prime \ell. In this article, we will establish this result unconditionally using its' connection with Artin's primitive root conjecture and this resolves the question of Christensen, Gipson and Kulosman.
