Abstract:In this paper we elaborate on the structure of the semigroup tree and the regularities on the number of descendants of each node observed in [2]. These regularites admit two different types of behavior and in this work we investigate which of the two types takes place in particular for well-known classes of semigroups. Also we study the question of what kind of chains appear in the tree and characterize the properties (like being (in)finite) thereof. We conclude with some thoughts that show how this study of t… Show more
“…Similarly, rule (7) shows that the coefficient of t g+1 in K 0 (v, t) gets a contribution of v from the node labeled (2) when g = 1, a contribution of v 0 + v 2 from the node labeled (3) when g = 2, a contribution of v 0 from each node at level g labeled (e) with e ≥ 4 (there is one such node for each g ≥ 3), and a contribution of v from the node labeled (4) when g = 3. All these contributions yield the following equation for K 0 (v, t):…”

“…In order to translate the rules (13) into functional equations, it will be convenient to separate the terms in J(u, v, t) according to the parity of the exponent of v, so that J(u, v, t) = J e (u, v, t) + J o (u, v, t), with e and o standing for even and odd. Also, let F e (u, t) = u 4 t 3 1−u 2 t 2 and F o (u, t) = u 5 t 4 1−u 2 t 2 , so that F (u, t) = u 2 t +u 3 t 2 +F e (u, t)+F o (u, t).

a b s t r a c tWe improve the previously best known lower and upper bounds on the number n g of numerical semigroups of genus g. Starting from a known recursive description of the tree T of numerical semigroups, we analyze some of its properties and use them to construct approximations of T by generating trees whose nodes are labeled by certain parameters of the semigroups. We then translate the succession rules of these trees into functional equations for the generating functions that enumerate their nodes, and solve these equations to obtain the bounds. Some of our bounds involve the Fibonacci numbers, and the others are expressed as generating functions.We also give upper bounds on the number of numerical semigroups having an infinite number of descendants in T .

“…Any semigroup of genus g ≥ 1 can be uniquely obtained from a semigroup Λ of genus g − 1 by removing a generator σ ≥ c(Λ). This allows one to arrange all numerical semigroups in an infinite tree, rooted at the trivial semigroup, such that the nodes at depth g are all semigroups of genus g. This tree was already introduced in [19,20] and later considered in [6,7,9]. The first nodes are shown in Figure 1, where each semigroup is represented by its non-zero elements up to the conductor.…”

Several contributions [7,9,11,23,2,3,15,8,17] In this article we introduce the notion of seeds, as a generalization of the generators of a semigroup which are greater than the Frobenius number. This new concept allows us to explore the semigroup tree in an alternative efficient way, since the seeds of each descendant can be easily obtained from the seeds of its parent.…”
For the elements of a numerical semigroup which are larger than the Frobenius number, we introduce the definition of seed by broadening the notion of generator. This new concept allows us to explore the semigroup tree in an alternative efficient way, since the seeds of each descendant can be easily obtained from the seeds of its parent. The paper is devoted to presenting the results which are related to this approach, leading to a new algorithm for computing and counting the semigroups of a given genus.
“…It is a rational curve of genus 8 with a unique singularity supported in P = (0 : 0 : 0 : 1), which is unibranch. The semigroup of P is S = {0, 3, 6, 9, 12, →}, and hence K = T. So the weight of P corresponds to (6) using the equality (5). On the other hand, one computes H 0 (ω C ) = dt/t 2 , dt/t 3 , dt/t 5 , dt/t 6 , dt/t 8 , dt/t 9 , dt/t 11 , dt/t 12 and from this point of view the weight of P corresponds to (7) using definition (2).…”
Abstract. In this article we study rational curves with a unique unibranch genus-g singularity, which is of κ-hyperelliptic type in the sense of [30]; we focus on the cases κ = 0 and κ = 1, in which the semigroup associated to the singularity is of (sub)maximal weight. We obtain a partial classification of these curves according to the linear series they support, the scrolls on which they lie, and their gonality.
