Abstract
The change-making problem was recently extended to sets of positive integers not containing the element , and from there to numerical semigroups. A greedy numerical semigroup is defined as a numerical semigroup where the greedy representation of an element is optimal with respect to the number of summands. In this paper we identify some new families of greedy numerical semigroups.
