Abstract

If P is a nonempty finite subset of positive integers, then A(P)={SSisanumericalsemigroup,SP=andmax(P)istheFrobeniusnumberofS}. In this work, we prove that A(P) is a covariety; therefore, we can arrange the elements of A(P) in the form of a tree. This fact allows us to present several algorithms, including one that calculates all the elements of A(P), another that obtains its maximal elements (with respect to the set inclusion order) and one more that computes the elements of A(P) that cannot be expressed as an intersection of two elements of A(P), that properly contain it.
Keywords: Frobenius number; gap; multiplicity; algorithm; covariety; irreducible element; R variety Frobenius number; gap; multiplicity; algorithm; covariety; irreducible element; R variety
