In this paper, we study the class of numerical semigroups with concentration 2. We give algorithms to calculate the whole set of this class of semigroups with given multiplicity, genus or Frobenius number. Separately, we prove that this class of semigroups verifies the Wilf's conjecture.project FCT (Fundacao para a Ciencia e a Tecnologia) PTDC/MAT/73544/2006Junta de Andalucia FQM-343 MTM-2017-84890-

The multiples of a numerical semigroup

Given two numerical semigroups $S$ and $T$ we say that $T$ is a multiple of $S$ if there exists an integer $d \in \mathbb{N} \setminus \{0\}$ such that $S = \{x \in \mathbb{N} \mid d x \in T\}$. In this paper we study the family of multiples of a (fixed) numerical semigroup. We also address the open problem of finding numerical semigroups of embedding dimension $e$ without any quotient of embedding dimension less than $e$, and provide new families with this property.Comment: 15 page

Frobenius pseudo-varieties in numerical semigroups

This is a post-peer-review, pre-copyedit version of an article published in Annali di Matematica Pura ed Applicata. The final authenticated version is available online at: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10231-013-0375-1.The common behavior of several families of numerical semigroups led up to defining the Frobenius varieties. However, some interesting families were out of this definition. In order to overcome this situation, in this paper we introduce the concept of (Frobenius) pseudo-varieties. Moreover, we will show that most of the results for varieties can be generalized to pseudo-varieties.Both of the authors are supported by FQM-343 (Junta de Andalucía), MTM2010-15595 (MICINN, Spain), and FEDER funds.

The extended Frobenius problem for Lucas series incremented by a Lucas number

We study the extended Frobenius problem for sequences of the form $\{l_a\}\cup\{l_a+l_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ and $\{l_a+l_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, where $\{l_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ is the Lucas series and $l_a$ is a Lucas number. As a consequence, we show that the families of numerical semigroups associated to both sequences satisfy the Wilf's conjecture.Comment: 13 pages. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2210.0081

Frobenius pseudo-variety of numerical semigroups with a given multiplicity and ratio

In this paper, we study the set L(m, r) of all numerical semigroups with multiplicity m and ratio r. In particular, we present some algorithms that compute all the elements of L(m, r) with a given genus or with a given Frobenius number
