Given a numerical semigroup $S$ and a positive integer $p$, the quotient $\frac{S}{p}=\{x\in \mathbb{N} \mid px\in S\}$ also forms a numerical semigroup. In this paper, we first characterize the Ap\'ery set for a class of quotients of…

This paper is a continuation of the paper "Numerical Semigroups: Ap\'ery Sets and Hilbert Series". We consider the general numerical AA-semigroup, i.e., semigroups consisting of all non-negative integer linear combinations of relatively…
This paper proposes a new, visual method to study numerical semigroups and the Frobenius problem. The method is based on building a so-called reduction graph, whose nodes usually correspond to monogenic semigroups, and whose edges can have…
