Abstract
Let be the consecutive prime numbers, the numerical semigroup generated by the primes not less than and the largest irredundant generator of . We will show, that . Similarly, for the largest integer not contained in , by computational evidence we suspect that is an odd number for and ; further for . If is odd for large , then . In case every large even integer is the sum of two primes. If for , then the Goldbach conjecture holds true. Further, Wilf's question in [12] has a positive answer for the semigroups .
