To a numerical semigroup $S$, Eliahou associated a number $E(S)$ and proved that numerical semigroups for which the associated number is non negative satisfy Wilf's conjecture. The search for counterexamples for the conjecture of Wilf is…
Suppose that m is a positive integer, not a perfect square. We present a formula solution to the 2-variable Frobenius problem in Z[\sqrt m] of the "first kind" ([3]).
In this paper we study numerical semigroups containing a given positive integer and closed with respect to the action of an affine map. For such semigroups we find a minimal set of generators, their embedding dimension, their genus and…
The Unbounded Subset Sum (USS) problem is an NP-hard computational problem where the goal is to decide whether there exist non-negative integers $x_1, \ldots, x_n$ such that $x_1 a_1 + \ldots + x_n a_n = b$, where $a_1 < \cdots < a_n < b$…
An important breakthrough in understanding the geometry of Schubert varieties was the introduction of the notion of Frobenius split varieties and the result that the flag varieties G/P are Frobenius split. The aim of this article is to give…
In this work we will introduce the concept of ratio-covariety, as a nonempty family $\mathscr{R}$ of numerical semigroups verifying certain properties. This concept will allow us to: \begin{enumerate} \item Describe an algorithmic process…
In this paper, we prove that the numerical-semigroup-gap counting problem is #NP-complete as a main theorem. A numerical semigroup is an additive semigroup over the set of all nonnegative integers. A gap of a numerical semigroup is defined…
We study the extended Frobenius problem for sequences of the form $\{l_a\}\cup\{l_a+l_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ and $\{l_a+l_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, where $\{l_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ is the Lucas series and $l_a$ is a Lucas number. As a…
In this paper we present the notion of arithmetic variety for numerical semigroups. We study various aspects related to these varieties such as the smallest arithmetic that contains a set of numerical semigroups and we exhibit the root…
In the context of the Frobenius coin problem, given two relatively prime positive integers $a$ and $b$, the set of nonrepresentable numbers consists of positive integers that cannot be expressed as nonnegative integer combination of $a$ and…
A numerical semigroup $S$ is a subset of the non-negative integers containing $0$ that is closed under addition. The Hilbert series of $S$ (a formal power series equal to the sum of terms $t^n$ over all $n \in S$) can be expressed as a…
In this paper we study numerical semigroups generated by three elements. We give a characterization of pseudo-symmetric numerical semigroups. Also, we will give a simple algorithm to get all the pseudo-symmetric numerical semigroups with…
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…
A numerical semigroup is an additive subsemigroup of the non-negative integers. In this paper, we consider parametrized families of numerical semigroups of the form $P_n = \langle f_1(n), \ldots, f_k(n) \rangle$ for polynomial functions…
Let $G$ be a finite group and $n$ be any prime-power divisor of ${\rm exp}(G)$, the exponent of $G$. Frobenius' theorem indicates that $|\{g\in G\mid g^n=1\}|=f_n\cdot n$ for some positive integer $f_n$. We call $f_n$ a Frobenius quotient…
In this paper we study a certain kind of generalized linear Diophantine problem of Frobenius. Let $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_l$ be positive integers such that their greatest common divisor is one. For a nonnegative integer $p$, denote the…
We consider numerical semigroups $S_3 = \langle d_1,d_2,d_3\rangle$, minimally generated by three positive integers. We revisit the Wilf question in $S_3$ and, making use of identities for degrees of syzygies of such semigroups, give a…
In this work we introduce the notion of almost-symmetry for generalized numerical semigroups. In addition to the main properties occurring in this new class, we present several characterizations for its elements. In particular we show that…
A numerical set $S$ with Frobenius number $g$ is a set of integers with $\min(S) = 0$ and $\max(\Zbb - S)=g$, and its atom monoid is $A(S) = \setpres{n \in \Zbb}{$n+s \in S$ for all $s \in S$}$. Let $\gamma_g$ be the number of numerical…
A numerical semigroup is said to be ordinary if it has all its gaps in a row. Indeed, it contains zero and all integers from a given positive one. One can define a simple operation on a non-ordinary semigroup, which we call here the…
