Wilf's conjecture for numerical semigroups with large second generator

Combinatorics 2017-10-26 v1

Abstract

We study Wilf's conjecture for numerical semigroups SS such that the second least generator a2a_2 of SS satisfies a2>c(S)+μ(S)3a_2>\frac{c(S)+\mu(S)}{3}, where c(S)c(S) is the conductor and μ(S)\mu(S) the multiplicity of SS. In particular, we show that for these semigroups Wilf's conjecture holds when the multiplicity is bounded by a quadratic function of the embedding dimension.
