Numerical semigroups bounded by the translation of a plane monoid
AbstractLet $$\mathbb {N}$$ N be the set of nonnegative integer numbers. A plane monoid is a submonoid of $$(\mathbb {N}^2,+)$$ ( N 2 , + ) . Let M be a plane monoid and $$p,q\in \mathbb {N}$$ p , q ∈ N . We will say that an integer number n is M(p, q)-bounded if there is $$(a,b)\in M$$ ( a , b ) ∈ M such that $$a+p\le n \le b-q$$ a + p ≤ n ≤ b - q . We will denote by $${\mathrm A}(M(p,q))=\{n\in \mathbb {N}\mid n \text { is } M(p,q)\text {-bounded}\}.$$ A ( M ( p , q ) ) = { n ∈ N ∣ n is M ( p , q ) -bounded } . An $$\mathcal {A}(p,q)$$ A ( p , q ) -semigroup is a numerical semigroup S such that $$S= {\mathrm A}(M(p,q))\cup \{0\}$$ S = A ( M ( p , q ) ) ∪ { 0 } for some plane monoid M. In this work we will study these kinds of numerical semigroups.
