Abstract
There is a one-to-one and onto correspondence between the class of numerical semigroups of depth , where is an integer, and a certain language over the alphabet which we call a Kunz language of depth . The Kunz language associated with the numerical semigroups of depth is the regular language . We prove that Kunz languages associated with numerical semigroups of larger depth are context-sensitive but not regular.
