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 solve the Frobenius problem for the numerical…
We investigate numerical semigroups generated by any quadratic sequence with initial term zero and an infinite number of terms. We find an efficient algorithm for calculating the Ap\'ery set, as well as bounds on the elements of the Ap\'ery…
We derive the lower bound for Frobenius number of symmetric (not complete intersection) semigroups generated by four elements.
Given a number field $K$ that is a subfield of the real numbers, we generalize the notion of the classical Frobenius problem to the ring of integers $\mathfrak{O}_K$ of $K$ by describing certain Frobenius semigroups,…
In this paper we present a new approach to construct the set of numerical semigroups with a fixed genus. Our methodology is based on the construction of the set of numerical semigroups with fixed Frobenius number and genus. An equivalence…
An $\mathcal{A}$-semigroup is a numerical semigroup without consecutive small elements. This work generalizes this concept to finite-complement submonoids of an affine cone $\mathcal{C}$. We develop algorithmic procedures to compute all…
In this work we will show that if $F$ is a positive integer, then the set ${\mathrm{Arf}}(F)=\{S\mid S \mbox{ is an Arf numerical semigroup with Frobenius number } F\}$ verifies the following conditions: 1) $\Delta(F)=\{0,F+1,\rightarrow\}$…
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…
Our goal is to convince the readers that the theory of complex normal surface singularities can be a powerful tool in the study of numerical semigroups, and, in the same time, a very rich source of interesting affine and numerical…
The common behaviour of many families of numerical semigroups led up to defining, firstly, the Frobenius varieties and, secondly, the (Frobenius) pseudo-varieties. However, some interesting families are still out of these definitions. To…
In this paper we introduce the notion of extension of a numerical semigroup. We provide a characterization of the numerical semigroups whose extensions are all arithmetic and we give an algorithm for the computation of the whole set of…
Given the integers $0<r_1<\dots<r_k$, we consider the shifted family of semigroups $M_n=\langle n, n+r_1,\dots, n+r_k\rangle$, where $n>0$. For sufficiently large $n$, we prove that if $M_n$ is nearly Gorenstein or almost symmetric, then so…
The notion of almost symmetric numerical semigroup was given by V. Barucci and R. Fr\"oberg. We characterize almost symmetric numerical semigroups by symmetry of pseudo-Frobenius numbers. We give a criterion for $H^*$ (the dual of $M$) to…
We conjecture a Fibonacci-like property on the number of numerical semigroups of a given genus. Moreover we conjecture that the associated quotient sequence approaches the golden ratio. The conjecture is motivated by the results on the…
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 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…
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…
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…
Given coprime positive integers $g_1 < \ldots < g_e$, the Frobenius number $F=F(g_1,\ldots,g_e)$ is the largest integer not representable as a linear combination of $g_1,\ldots,g_e$ with non-negative integer coefficients. Let $n$ denote the…
