AbstractWe say that a numerical semigroup isd-squashedif it can be written in the formforN,a1, … ,adpositive integers with gcd(a1, … ,ad) = 1. Rosales and Urbano have shown that a numerical semigroup is 2-squashed if and only if it is proportionally modular.Recent works by Rosaleset al.give a concrete example of a numerical semigroup that cannot be written as an intersection of 2-squashed semigroups. We will show the existence of infinitely many numerical semigroups that cannot be written as an intersection of 2-squashed semigroups. We also will prove the same result for 3-squashed semigroups. We conjecture that there are numerical semigroups that cannot be written as the intersection ofd-squashed semigroups for any fixedd, and we prove some partial results towards this conjecture.

Let [Formula: see text] be two positive integers such that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] the numerical semigroup generated by [Formula: see text]. Then [Formula: see text] is the Thabit numerical semigroup introduced by J. C. Rosales, M. B. Branco and D. Torrão. In this paper, we give formulas for computing the Frobenius number, the genus and the embedding dimension of [Formula: see text].

We study some questions on numerical semigroups of type 2. On the one hand, we investigate the relation between the genus and the Frobenius number. On the other hand, for two fixed positive integers g1, g2, we give necessary and sufficient conditions in order to have a numerical semigroup S such that {g1, g2} is the set of its pseudo-Frobenius numbers and, moreover, we explicitly build families of such numerical semigroups.

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).

For any positive integers n and v letwhere d runs through all the positive divisors of n. For each positive integer k and real x > 1, denote by N(v, k; x) the number of positive integers n ≦ x for which σv(n) is not divisible by k. Then Watson [6] has shown that, when v is odd,as x → ∞; it is assumed here and throughout that v and k are fixed and independent of x. It follows, in particular, that σ (n) is almost always divisible by k. A brief account of the ideas used by Watson will be found in § 10.6 of Hardy's book on Ramanujan [2].

Our main result is that if G(x1, …, xn) = 0 is a system of homogeneous equations such that for every partition of the positive integers into finitely many classes there are distinct y1,…, yn in one class such that G(y1, …, yn) = 0, then, for every partition of the positive integers into finitely many classes there are distinct Z1, …, Zn in one class such thatIn particular, we show that if the positive integers are split into r classes, then for every n ≥ 2 there are distinct positive integers x1, x1, …, xn in one class such thatWe also show that if [1, n6 − (n2 − n)2] is partitioned into two classes, then some class contains x0, x1, …, xn such that(Here, x0, x2, …, xn are not necessarily distinct.)

For a real number λ, ‖λ‖ is the absolute value of the difference between λ and the nearest integer. Let X represent the m-tuple (x1, x2, … xm) and letbe any n linear forms in m variables, where the Θij are real numbers. The following is a classical result of Khintchine (1):For all pairs of positive integers m, n there is a positive constant Г(m, n) with the property that for any forms Lj(X) there exist real numbers α1, α2, …, αn such thatfor all integers x1, x2, …, xm not all zero.

Let {Xn} (n = 1, 2 , …) be a stochastic process. The random variables comprising it or the process itself will be said to be interchangeable if, for any choice of distinct positive integers i 1, i 2, H 3 … , ik, the joint distribution of depends merely on k and is independent of the integers i 1, i 2, … , i k. It was shown by De Finetti (3) that the probability measure for any interchangeable process is a mixture of probability measures of processes each consisting of independent and identically distributed random variables.

AbstractLet denote the Dedekind eta function. We use a recent productto- sum formula in conjunction with conditions for the non-representability of integers by certain ternary quadratic forms to give explicitly ten eta quotientssuch that the Fourier coefficients c(n) vanish for all positive integers n in each of infinitely many non-overlapping arithmetic progressions. For example, we show that if we have c(n) = 0 for all n in each of the arithmetic progressions

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.
