Abstract
Let be a prime number, and let be the numerical semigroup generated by the prime numbers not less than . We compare the orders of magnitude of some invariants of with each other, e. g., the biggest atom of with itself: By Harald Helfgott (arXiv:1312.7748 [math.NT]), every odd integer greater than five can be written as the sum of three prime numbers. There is numerical evidence suggesting that the summands of always can be chosen between and . This would imply that is less than .
