A numerical semigroup is a co-finite submonoid of the monoid of non-negative integers under addition. Many properties of numerical semigroups rely on some fundamental invariants, such as, among others, the set of gaps (and its cardinality),…

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…

Let $\mathcal{C}\subseteq \mathbb{N}^p$ be an integer cone. A $\mathcal{C}$-semigroup $S\subseteq \mathcal{C}$ is an affine semigroup such that the set $\mathcal{C}\setminus S$ is finite. Such $\mathcal{C}$-semigroups are central to our…

For $p>0$ a small parameter, let $\mathcal A \subseteq \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$ be a random subset where each positive integer is included independently with probability $p$. We show that, with high probability (as $p \to 0$), the numerical…

The so-called Frobenius number in the famous linear Diophantine problem of Frobenius is the largest integer such that the linear equation $a_1 x_1+\cdots+a_k x_k=n$ ($a_1,\dots,a_k$ are given positive integers with $\gcd(a_1,\dots,a_k)=1$)…

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 define a reflective numerical semigroup of genus $g$ as a numerical semigroup that has a certain reflective symmetry when viewed within $\mathbb{Z}$ as an array with $g$ columns. Equivalently, a reflective numerical semigroup has one gap…

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…

Wilf Conjecture on numerical semigroups is an inequality connecting the Frobenius number, embedding dimension and the genus of the semigroup. The conjecture is still open in general. We prove that the Wilf inequality is preserved under…

Let $n$ be a positive integer greater than $2$. We define \textit{the Proth numerical semigroup}, $P_{k}(n)$, generated by $\{k 2^{n+i}+1 \,\mid\, i \in \mathbb{N}\}$, where $k$ is an odd positive number and $k < 2^{n}$. In this paper, we…
