Given three pairwise coprime positive integers $a_1,a_2,a_3 \in \mathbb{Z}^+$ we show the existence of a relation between the sets of the first elements of the three quotients $\frac{\langle a_i,a_j \rangle}{a_k}$ that can be made for every…

We study almost symmetric semigroups generated by odd integers. If the embedding dimension is four, we characterize when a symmetric semigroup that is not complete intersection or a pseudo-symmetric semigroup is generated by odd integers.…

In this paper we present the notion of arithmetic variety for numerical semigroups. We study various aspects related to these varieties such as the smallest arithmetic that contains a set of numerical semigroups and we exhibit the root…

Let $S$ be a numerical semigroup with Frobenius number $f$, genus $g$ and embedding dimension $e$. % In 1978 Wilf asked the question, whether $\frac{f+1-g}{f+1}\geq\frac1e$. As is well known, this holds in the cases $e=2$ and $e=3$. For…

Let $\langle A\rangle$ be the numerical semigroup generated by relatively prime positive integers $\{a_1,a_2,...,a_n\}$. The quotient of $\langle A\rangle$ with respect to a positive integer $p$ is defined by $\frac{\langle…

We generalize the geometric sequence $\{a^p, a^{p-1}b, a^{p-2}b^2,...,b^p\}$ to allow the $p$ copies of $a$ (resp. $b$) to all be different. We call the sequence $\{a_1a_2a_3\cdots a_p, b_1a_2a_3\cdots a_p, b_1b_2a_3\cdots a_p,\ldots,…

Let $S\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ be a numerical semigroup with multiplicity $m$, embedding dimension $\nu$ and conductor $c=f+1=qm-\rho$ for some $q,\rho\in\mathbb{N}$ with $\rho<m$. Let Ap$(S,m) = \{w\_0<w_1 < \ldots < w_{m-1}\}$ be the Ap\'ery…

A numerical semigroup is an additive submonoid of the natural numbers with finite complement. The size of the complement is called the genus of the semigroup. How many numerical semigroups have genus equal to $g$? We outline Zhai's proof of…

Frobenius problem and its many generalizations have been extensively studied in several areas of mathematics. We study semigroups of totally positive algebraic integers in totally real number fields, defining analogues of the Frobenius…

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…

In this work we will show that if $F$ is a positive integer, then ${\mathrm{Sat}}(F)=\{S\mid S \mbox{ is a saturated numerical semigroup with Frobenius number } F\}$ is a covariety. As a consequence, we present two algorithms: one that…

Let $\mathsf{r}_k$ be the unique positive root of $x^k - (x+1)^{k-1} = 0$. We prove the best known bounds on the number $n_{g,d}$ of $d$-dimensional generalized numerical semigroups, in particular that \[n_{g,d} > C_d^{g^{(d-1)/d}}…

We introduce the notion of pattern for numerical semigroups, which allows us to generalize the definition of Arf numerical semigroups. In this way infinitely many other classes of numerical semigroups are defined giving a classification of…

Let $a,b$ be positive integers. In this note, we study the numerical semigroup $H=\left<a,a+1,b\right>$ and and the associated numerical semigroup ring $R=k[[H]]$. Under the certain conditions, we provide explicit formulas for the Frobenius…

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…

Let $S=\left\langle s_1,\ldots,s_n\right\rangle$ be a numerical semigroup generated by the relatively prime positive integers $s_1,\ldots,s_n$. Let $k\geqslant 2$ be an integer. In this paper, we consider the following $k$-power variant of…

A \emph{numerical semigroup} is a subset $\Lambda$ of the nonnegative integers that is closed under addition, contains $0$, and omits only finitely many nonnegative integers (called the \emph{gaps} of $\Lambda$). The collection of all…

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)…

Let $n_g$ be the number of numerical semigroups of genus $g$. We present an approach to compute $n_g$ by using even gaps, and the question: Is it true that $n_{g+1}>n_g$? is investigated. Let $N_\gamma(g)$ be the number of numerical…
