Abstract

A numerical semigroup is a sub-semigroup of the natural numbers that has a finite complement. Some of the key properties of a numerical semigroup are its Frobenius number F, genus g and type t. It is known that for any numerical semigroup gF+1gt2gF\frac{g}{F+1-g}\leq t\leq 2g-F. Numerical semigroups with t=2gFt=2g-F are called almost symmetric, we introduce a new property that characterises them. We give an explicit characterisation of numerical semigroups with t=gF+1gt=\frac{g}{F+1-g}. We show that for a fixed α\alpha the number of numerical semigroups with Frobenius number FF and type FαF-\alpha is eventually constant for large FF. Also the number of numerical semigroups with genus gg and type gαg-\alpha is also eventually constant for large gg.
