We compute the quiver of any monoid that has a basic algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. More generally, we reduce the computation of the quiver over a splitting field of a class of monoids that we term…
Let $A \subset {\mathbb Z}$ be a finite subset. We denote by $\mathcal{B}(A)$ the set of all integers $n \ge 2$ such that $|nA| > (2n-1)(|A|-1)$, where $nA=A+\cdots+A$ denotes the $n$-fold sumset of $A$. The motivation to consider…
The Catalan numbers are well-known to be the answer to many different counting problems, and so there are many different families of sets whose cardinalities are the Catalan numbers. We show how such a family can be given the structure of a…
A Puiseux monoid is an additive submonoid of the nonnegative cone of the rational numbers. We say that a Puiseux monoid $M$ is exponential provided that there exist a positive rational $r$ and a set $S$ consisting of nonnegative integers,…
Let P be an elementary closed semi-algebraic set in R^d, i.e., there exist real polynomials p_1,...,p_s such that P= \{x \in R^d : p_1(x) \ge 0, >..., p_s(x) \ge 0 \}; in this case p_1,...,p_s are said to represent P. Denote by $n$ the…
The set $\mathcal{P}_{{\rm fin},0}(\mathbb{N}_0)$ of all finite subsets of $\mathbb{N}_0$ containing the zero element is a monoid with set addition as operation. If a set $A\in\mathcal{P}_{{\rm fin},0}(\mathbb{N}_0)$ can be written in the…
We find a relation between the genus of a quotient of a numerical semigroup $S$ and the genus of $S$ itself. We use this identity to compute the genus of a quotient of $S$ when $S$ has embedding dimension $2$. We also exhibit identities…
The symmetric inverse semigroup $I(X)$ on a set $X$ is the collection of all partial bijections between subsets of $X$ with composition as the algebraic operation. We study a minimal Hausdorff inverse semigroup topologies on $I(X)$. When…
Given a numerical semigroup $S$, we let $\mathrm P_S(x)=(1-x)\sum_{s\in S}x^s$ be its semigroup polynomial. We study cyclotomic numerical semigroups; these are numerical semigroups $S$ such that $\mathrm P_S(x)$ has all its roots in the…
The notion of noncrossing partitions of a partially ordered set (poset) is introduced here. When the poset in question is $[n]=\{1,2,\dots, n\}$ with the complete order of natural numbers, conventional noncrossing partitions arise. The…
In this paper, we consider a question of sum-keeping about a multiplicative subsemigroup and its generator subsets in a semiring, and develop some elementary (collapse) process of the sum-keeping retraction through subsets until one minimal…
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…
Let $S$ be a numerical semigroup. We will say that $h\in {\mathbb{N}} \backslash S$ is an {\it isolated gap }of $S$ if $\{h-1,h+1\}\subseteq S.$ A numerical semigroup without isolated gaps is called perfect numerical semigroup. Denote by…
We define the concentration of a numerical semigroup $S$ as $\mathsf{C}(S)=\max \left\{\text{next}_S(s)-s ~|~ s\in S \backslash \{0\}\right\}$ wherein $\text{next}_S(s)=\min\left\{x \in S ~|~ s<x\right\}$. In this paper, we study the class…
Generalising Solomon's theorem, C. Gordon and F. Rodriguez-Villegas have proven recently that, in any group, the number of solutions to a system of coefficient-free equations is divisible by the order of this group whenever the rank of the…
A numerical semigroup is a submonoid of $\mathbb N$ with finite complement in $\mathbb N$. A generalized numerical semigroup is a submonoid of $\mathbb{N}^{d}$ with finite complement in $\mathbb{N}^{d}$. In the context of numerical…
We study statistical properties of random numerical semigroups of a given genus. We analyze the graph of a typical numerical semigroup, understood as a function from $\mathbb{N}$ to $\mathbb{N}$. If $S$ is a numerical semigroup of genus…
A natural operation on numerical semigroups is taking a quotient by a positive integer. If $\mathcal S$ is a quotient of a numerical semigroup with $k$ generators, we call $\mathcal S$ a $k$-quotient. We give a necessary condition for a…
Let a, k, h, c be positive integers and d a non zero integer. Recall that a numerical generalized almost arithmetic semigroup S is a semigroup minimally generated by relatively prime positive integers a, ha + d, ha + 2d, . . . , ha + kd, c,…
In this paper, we look at how to count the number of elements of a set within the frame of Sergeyev's numeral system. We also look at the connection between the number of elements of a set and the notion of bijection in this new setting. We…
