Let $G=C_n\oplus C_{mn}$ with $n\geq 2$ and $m\geq 1$, and let $k\in [0,n-1]$. It is known that any sequence of $mn+n-1+k$ terms from $G$ must contain a nontrivial zero-sum of length at most $mn+n-1-k$. The associated inverse question is to…

In the paper we solve few problems proposed by Prapanpong Pongsriiam. Let $f(n)$ denote the number of relatively prime subsets of $\{1, 2, 3, \dots, n\}$ and $g(n)$ denote the number of subsets $A$ of $\{1, 2, 3, \dots, n\}$ such that…

Two families $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ of sets are said to be cross-intersecting if each member of $\mathcal{A}$ intersects each member of $\mathcal{B}$. For any two integers $n$ and $k$ with $0 \leq k \leq n$, let ${[n] \choose \leq…

In this paper we study the limit theory of numerical semigroups with two generators. We give a complete axiomatization in some cases.

Let $S,T$ be two numerical semigroups. We study when $S$ is one half of $T$, with $T$ almost symmetric. If we assume that the type of $T$, $t(T)$, is odd, then for any $S$ there exist infinitely many such $T$ and we prove that $1 \leq t(T)…

We prove that, for each fixed genus, the portion of semigroups of that genus belonging to infinite chains in the semigroup tree approaches 0 as the genus grows to infinite. This means that most numerical semigroups have a finite number of…

We give two algorithmic procedures to compute the whole set of almost symmetric numerical semigroups with fixed Frobenius number and type, and the whole set of almost symmetric numerical semigroups with fixed Frobenius number. Our…

We introduce the quasi-ordinarization transform of a numerical semigroup. This transform will allow to organize all the semigroups of a given genus in a forest rooted at all quasi-ordinary semigroups with the given genus. This construction…

In this paper, we are motivated by the conjectures proposed by C.~Bender \textit{et al.}, \cite{C} in 2024. We have settled the first two conjectures negatively by providing a counter example in \cite{KTJ}, whereas in this paper, we prove…

Let $G$ be a graph and let $S(G)$, $M(G)$, and $T(G)$ be the subdivision, the middle, and the total graph of $G$, respectively. Let ${\rm dim}(G)$, ${\rm edim}(G)$, and ${\rm mdim}(G)$ be the metric dimension, the edge metric dimension, and…

We prove that if a super-Poincar\'e inequality is satisfied by an infinitesimal generator $-A$ of a symmetric contracting semigroup then it implies a corresponding super-Poincar\'e inequality for $-g(A)$ with any Bernstein function $g$. We…

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…

Let G be an arithmetic lattice in a semisimple algebraic group over a number field. We show that if G has the congruence subgroup property, then the number of n-dimensional irreducible representations of G grows like n^a, where a is a…

Motivated by appearance of multisemigroups in the study of additive $2$-categories, we define and investigate the notion of a multisemigroup with multiplicities. This notion seems to be better suitable for applications in higher…

The class-breadth conjecture of Leedham-Green, Neumann and Wiegold states that for each $p$-group, $cl(G)\leq b(G) + 1$, where $cl(G)$, $b(G)$ denote the nilpotency class and the breadth of $G$. While several counter-examples to this…

Let ${\rm dim}(G)$ and $D(G)$ respectively denote the metric dimension and the distinguishing number of a graph $G$. It is proved that $D(G) \le {\rm dim}(G)+1$ holds for every connected graph $G$. Among trees, exactly paths and stars…

We explicitly describe all the isolated gaps of any numerical semigroup of embedding dimension two, and we give an exact formula for the number of isolated gaps of these numerical semigroups.

Let A be a subset of an abelian group G. We say that A is sum-free if there do not exist x,y and z in A satisfying x + y = z. We determine, for any G, the cardinality of the largest sum-free subset of G. This equals c(G)|G| where c(G) is a…

In this work, we study good semigroups of $\mathbb{N}^n$ introducing the definition of length and genus for these objects. We show how to count the local good semigroup with a fixed genus. Furthermore, we study the relationships of these…

For a numerical semigroup, we encode the set of primitive elements that are larger than its Frobenius number and show how to produce in a fast way the corresponding sets for its children in the semigroup tree. This allows us to present an…
