AbstractLet b, n be two positive integers such that b ≥ 2, and S(b, n) be the numerical semigroup generated by $\begin{array}{} \{b^{n+1+i}+\frac{b^{n+i}-1}{b-1}\mid i\in\mathbb{N}\} \end{array}$. Applying two order relations, we give formulas for computing the embedding dimension, the Frobenius number, the type and the genus of S(b, n).

Let $H$ be an $n$-generated numerical semigroup such that its tangent cone $\operatorname{gr}_\mathfrak{m} K[H]$ is defined by quadratic relations. We show that if $n<5$ then $\operatorname{gr}_\mathfrak{m} K[H]$ is Cohen-Macaulay, and for $n=5$ we explicitly describe the semigroups $H$ such that $\operatorname{gr}_\mathfrak{m} K[H]$ is not Cohen-Macaulay. As an application we show that if the field $K$ is algebraically closed and of characteristic different from two, and $n\leq 5$ then $\operatorname{gr}_\mathfrak{m} K[H]$ is Koszul if and only if (possibly after a change of coordinates) its defining ideal has a quadratic Gröbner basis.

Given two numerical semigroups S and T and a positive integer d, S is said to be one over d of T if S = {s ∈ ℕ | ds ∈ T} and in this case T is called a d-fold of S. We prove that the minimal genus of the d-folds of S is [Formula: see text], where g and f denote the genus and the Frobenius number of S. The case d = 2 is a problem proposed by Robles-Pérez, Rosales, and Vasco. Furthermore, we find the minimal genus of the symmetric doubles of S and study the particular case when S is almost symmetric. Finally, we study the Frobenius number of the quotient of some families of numerical semigroups.

AbstractLet ${{\mathbb{N}}}$ be the set of nonnegative integers. A problem about how to transport profitably an organized group of persons leads us to study the set T formed by the integers n such that the system of inequalities, with nonnegative integer coefficients,$a_{1}x_{1}+\cdots+a_{p}x_{p}<n<b_{1}x_{1}+\cdots+b_{p}x_{p}$has at least one solution in ${{\mathbb{N}}^{p}}$. We will see that ${T\cup\{0\}}$ is a numerical semigroup. Moreover, we will show that a numerical semigroup S can be obtained in this way if and only if ${\{a+b-1,a+b+1\}\subseteq S}$, for all ${a,b\in S\setminus\{0\}}$. In addition, we will demonstrate that such numerical semigroups form a Frobenius variety and we will study this variety. Finally, we show an algorithmic process in order to compute T.

Abstract Given a numerical semigroup S, a nonnegative integer a and m ∈ S ∖ {0}, we introduce the set C(S, a, m) = {s + aw(s mod m) | s ∈ S}, where {w(0), w(1), ⋯, w(m – 1)} is the Apéry set of m in S. In this paper we characterize the pairs (a, m) such that C(S, a, m) is a numerical semigroup. We study the principal invariants of C(S, a, m) which are given explicitly in terms of invariants of S. We also characterize the compositions C(S, a, m) that are symmetric, pseudo-symmetric and almost symmetric. Finally, a result about compliance to Wilf’s conjecture of C(S, a, m) is given.
