Abstract

Denote by m(S)\mathrm m(S) the multiplicity of a numerical semigroup SS. A covariety is a nonempty family C\mathscr{C} of numerical semigroups that fulfills the following conditions: there is the minimum of C,\mathscr{C}, the intersection of two elements of C\mathscr{C} is again an element of C\mathscr{C} and S\{m(S)}CS\backslash \{\mathrm m(S)\}\in \mathscr{C} for all SCS\in \mathscr{C} such that Smin(C).S\neq \min(\mathscr{C}). In this work we describe an algorithmic procedure to compute all the elements of C.\mathscr{C}. We prove that there exists the smallest element of C\mathscr{C} containing a set of positive integers. We show that A(F)={SS\mboxisanumericalsemigroupwithFrobeniusnumberF}\mathscr{A}(F)=\{S\mid S \mbox{ is a numerical semigroup with Frobenius number }F\} is a covariety, and we particularize the previous results in this covariety. Finally, we will see that there is the smallest covariety containing a finite set of numerical semigroups.
