Abstract

Let SS be the numerical semigroup generated by three consecutive numbers a,a+1,a+2a,a+1,a+2, where aNa\in\mathbb{N}, a3a\geq 3. We describe the elements of SS whose factorizations have all the same length, as well as the set of factorizations of each of these elements. We give natural partitions of this subset of SS in terms of the length and the denumerant. By using Ap\'ery sets and Betti elements we are able to extend some results, first obtained by elementary means.
