We provide algorithms for performing computations in generalized numerical semigroups, that is, submonoids of $\mathbb{N}^{d}$ with finite complement in $\mathbb{N}^{d}$. These semigroups are affine semigroups, which in particular implies…

Judith Sally proved in 1980 that the associated graded ring of one-dimensional Gorenstein local rings of multiplicity $e$ and embedding dimension $e-2$ are Cohen-Macaulay. She showed that the defining ideal of the associated graded ring of…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of Arf special gaps of an Arf numerical semigroup, and an algorithm for computing all Arf special gaps of a given Arf numerical semigroup. We introduce the concept of Arf-irreducible numerical…

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…

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)…

Given a numerical semigroup S = <a_0, a_1, a_2,..., a_t> and n in S, we consider the factorization n = c_0 a_0 + c_1 a_1 + ... + c_t a_t where c_i >= 0. Such a factorization is maximal if c_0 + c_1 + ... + c_t is a maximum over all such…

For any numerical semigroup $S$, there are infinitely many numerical symmetric semigroups $T$ such that $S=\frac{T}{2}$ is their half. We are studying the Betti numbers of the numerical semigroup ring $K[T]$ when $S$ is a 3-generated…

Delorme suggested that the set of all complete intersection numerical semigroups can be computed recursively. We have implemented this algorithm, and particularized it to several subfamilies of this class of numerical semigroups: free and…

Combinatorics on multisets is used to deduce new upper and lower bounds on the number of numerical semigroups of each given genus, significantly improving existing ones. In particular, it is proved that the number $n_g$ of numerical…

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…

We show that the number of numerical semigroups with multiplicity three, four or five and fixed genus is increasing as a function in the genus. To this end we use the Kunz polytope for these multiplicities. Counting numerical semigroups…

We examine properties of random numerical semigroups under a probabilistic model inspired by the Erdos-Renyi model for random graphs. We provide a threshold function for cofiniteness, and bound the expected embedding dimension, genus, and…

We give a simple explanation of numerical experiments of V. Arnold with two sequences of symmetric numerical semigroups, S(4,6+4k,87-4k) and S(9,3+9k,85-9k) generated by three elements. We present a generalization of these sequences by…

The greatest integer that does not belong to a numerical semigroup $S$ is called the Frobenius number of $S$ and finding the Frobenius number is called the Frobenius problem. In this paper, we introduce the Frobenius problem for numerical…

We introduce the notion of numerical semigroups generated by concatenation of arithmetic sequences and show that this class of numerical semigroups exhibit multiple interesting behaviours.

In this paper we study the property of the Arf good subsemigroups of $\mathbb{N}^n$, with $n\geq2$. We give a way to compute all the Arf semigroups with a given collection of multiplicity branches. We also deal with the problem of…

In this paper we present the set of saturated numerical semigroups with prime multiplicity. We also characterize the catenary degree of these semigroups that we acquire. The catenary degree of a numerical semigroup is the variant which…

Given a numerical semigroup $S = < a_1, a_2,..., a_t>$ and $s\in S$, we consider the factorization $s = c_1 a_1 + c_2 a_2 +... + c_t a_t$ where $c_i\ge0$. Such a factorization is {\em maximal} if $c_1+c_2+...+c_t$ is a maximum over all such…

We study numerical semigroups with the property "multiplicity= embedding dimension+1", generated by concatenation of arithmetic sequences.
