Abstract
Let be a numerical monoid, that is, a cofinite submonoid of (the non-negative integers under addition). Denote by the monoid obtained by endowing the family of all finite subsets of containing with the operation of setwise addition induced by on its power set. Tringali and Yan [JCTA, 2025] have recently established that has a unique non-trivial automorphism, and conjectured that the automorphism group of is trivial whenever . We prove this conjecture and, as a byproduct, give a new proof of the Tringali--Yan theorem.
