For the elements of a numerical semigroup which are larger than the Frobenius number, we introduce the definition of, seed, by broadening the notion of generator. This new concept allows us to explore the semigroup tree in an alternative…

Numerical semigroups are cofinite additive submonoids of the natural numbers. In 2011, Keith and Nath illustrated an injection from numerical semigroups to integer partitions. We explore this connection between partitions and numerical…

In this paper we describe an algorithm visiting all numerical semigroups up to a given genus using a well suited representation. The interest of this algorithm is that it fits particularly well the architecture of modern computers allowing…

A numerical semigroup is a cofinite subset of $\mathbb Z_{\ge 0}$ containing $0$ and closed under addition. Each numerical semigroup $S$ with smallest positive element $m$ corresponds to an integer point in the Kunz cone $\mathcal C_m…

A numerical semigroup is a subset of N containing 0, closed under addition and with finite complement in N. An important example of numerical semigroup is given by the Weierstrass semigroup at one point of a curve. In the theory of…

Let $H$ be a numerical semigroup. We give effective bounds for the multiplicity $e(H)$ when the associated graded ring $\operatorname{gr}_\mathfrak{m} K[H]$ is defined by quadrics. We classify Koszul complete intersection semigroups in…

Let n_g denote the number of numerical semigroups of genus g. Bras-Amoros conjectured that n_g possesses certain Fibonacci-like properties. Almost all previous attempts at proving this conjecture were based on analyzing the semigroup tree.…

A numerical semigroup is said to be Weierstrass if it is the semigroup of pole orders of rational functions that are regular at all but one point of some compact Riemann surface or smooth algebraic curve. Hurwitz asked in 1892 whether all…

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…

In this paper, we bring the terminology of the Kunz coordinates of numerical semigroups to gapsets and we generalize this concept to $m$-extensions. It allows us to identify gapsets and, in general, $m$-extensions with tilings of boards. As…

We present a new algorithm to explore or count the numerical semigroups of a given genus which uses the unleaved version of the tree of numerical semigroups. In the unleaved tree there are no leaves rather than the ones at depth equal to…

A numerical semigroup is a cofinite subset of the non-negative integers that is closed under addition and contains 0. Each numerical semigroup $S$ with fixed smallest positive element $m$ corresponds to an integer point in a rational…

A gapset is the complement of a numerical semigroup in N. In this paper, we characterize all gapsets of multiplicity m $\le$ 4. As a corollary, we provide a new simpler proof that the number of gapsets of genus g and fixed multiplicity m…

Given two numerical semigroups $S$ and $T$ we say that $T$ is a multiple of $S$ if there exists an integer $d \in \mathbb{N} \setminus \{0\}$ such that $S = \{x \in \mathbb{N} \mid d x \in T\}$. In this paper we study the family of…

In 1990, Backelin showed that the number of numerical semigroups with Frobenius number $f$ approaches $C_i \cdot 2^{f/2}$ for constants $C_0$ and $C_1$ depending on the parity of $f$. In this paper, we generalize this result to semigroups…
