Given an integer mxn matrix A satisfying certain regularity assumptions, we consider the set F(A) of all integer vectors b such that the associated knapsack polytope P(A,b)={x: Ax=b, x>=0} contains an integer point. When m=1 the set F(A) is…

Let g_j denote the largest integer that is represented exactly j times as a non-negative integer linear combination of { x_1, ... , x_n. We show that for any k > 0, and n = 5, the quantity g_0 - g_k is unbounded. Furthermore, we provide…

In 1990, Backelin showed that the number of numerical semigroups with Frobenius number $f$ approaches $C_i \cdot 2^{f/2}$ for constants $C_0$ and $C_1$ depending on the parity of $f$. In this paper, we generalize this result to semigroups…

Let $S\neq\mathbb N$ be a numerical semigroup generated by $e$ elements. In his paper (A Circle-Of-Lights Algorithm for the "Money-Changing Problem", Amer. Math. Monthly 85 (1978), 562--565), H.~S.~Wilf raised the following question: Let…

For a nonnegative integer $p$, we give explicit formulas for the $p$-Frobenius number and the $p$-genus of generalized Fibonacci numerical semigroups. Here, the $p$-numerical semigroup $S_p$ is defined as the set of integers whose…

A numerical semigroup is an additive subsemigroup of the non-negative integers. In this paper, we consider parametrized families of numerical semigroups of the form $P_n = \langle f_1(n), \ldots, f_k(n) \rangle$ for polynomial functions…
