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 S $\subseteq$ N be a numerical semigroup with multiplicity m = min(S \ {0}), conductor c = max(N \ S) + 1 and minimally generated by e elements. Let L be the set of elements of S which are smaller than c. Wilf conjectured in 1978 that…

Given coprime positive integers $g_1 < \ldots < g_e$, the Frobenius number $F=F(g_1,\ldots,g_e)$ is the largest integer not representable as a linear combination of $g_1,\ldots,g_e$ with non-negative integer coefficients. Let $n$ denote the…

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 $S$ be a numerical semigroup of embedding dimension $e$ and conductor $c$. The question of Wilf is, if $\#(\mathbb N\setminus S)/c\leq e-1/e$. \noindent In (An asymptotic result concerning a question of Wilf, arXiv:1111.2779v1…

For a numerical semigroup S $\subseteq$ N with embedding dimension e, conductor c and left part L = S $\cap$ [0, c -- 1], set W (S) = e|L| -- c. In 1978 Wilf asked, in equivalent terms, whether W (S) $\ge$ 0 always holds, a question known…

This article discusses numerical semigroups having a generator which is as large as possible. This turns out to be $2g+1$, where $g$ is the genus of the semigroup. We will show that these semigroups are closely related to symmetric…

Fixed two positive integers m and e, some algorithms for computing the minimal Frobenius number and minimal genus of the set of numerical semigroups with multiplicity m and embedding dimension e are provided. Besides, the semigroups where…

We give an affirmative answer to Wilf's conjecture for numerical semigroups satisfying 2 \nu \geq m, where \nu and m are respectively the embedding dimension and the multiplicity of a semigroup. The conjecture is also proved when m \leq 8…

We establish a one-to-one correspondence between numerical semigroups of genus $g$ and almost symmetric numerical semigroups with Frobenius number $F$ and type $F-2g$, provided that $F$ is greater than $4g-1$.

Wilf Conjecture on numerical semigroups is an inequality connecting the Frobenius number, embedding dimension and the genus of the semigroup. The conjecture is still open in general. We prove that the Wilf inequality is preserved under…

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…

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 a sub-semigroup of the natural numbers that has a finite complement. Some of the key properties of a numerical semigroup are its Frobenius number F, genus g and type t. It is known that for any numerical semigroup…

Given coprime positive integers $a_1 < ...< a_d$, the Frobenius number $F$ is the largest integer which is not representable as a non-negative integer combination of the $a_i$. Let $g$ denote the number of all non-representable positive…

For a numerical semigroup $S \subseteq \mathbb{N}$, let $m,e,c,g$ denote its multiplicity, embedding dimension, conductor and genus, respectively. Wilf's conjecture (1978) states that $e(c-g) \ge c$. As of 2023, Wilf's conjecture has been…

Let S $\subseteq$ N be a numerical semigroup with multiplicity m = min(S \ {0}) and conductor c = max(N \ S) + 1. Let P be the set of primitive elements of S, and let L be the set of elements of S which are smaller than c. A longstand-ing…

We give an estimate of the minimal positive value of the Wilf function of a numerical semigroup in terms of its concentration. We describe necessary conditions for a numerical semigroup to have negative Eliahou number in terms of its…

We consider numerical semigroups $S_3 = \langle d_1,d_2,d_3\rangle$, minimally generated by three positive integers. We revisit the Wilf question in $S_3$ and, making use of identities for degrees of syzygies of such semigroups, give a…

In this paper, we introduce and study the numerical semigroups generated by $\{a_1, a_2, \ldots \} \subset \mathbb{N}$ such that $a_1$ is the repunit number in base $b > 1$ of length $n > 1$ and $a_i - a_{i-1} = a\, b^{i-2},$ for every $i…
