Density of Numerical sets associated to a Numerical semigroup

Abstract

A numerical set is a co-finite subset of the natural numbers that contains zero. Its Frobenius number is the largest number in its complement. Each numerical set has an associated semigroup $A(T)=\{t\mid t+T\subseteq T\}$, which has the same Frobenius number as $T$. For a fixed Frobenius number $f$ there are $2^{f-1}$ numerical sets. It is known that there is a number $\gamma$ close to $0.484$ such that the ratio of these numerical sets that are mapped to $N_f=\{0\}\cup (f,\infty )$ is asymptotically $\gamma$. We identify a collection of families $N(D,f)$ of numerical semigroups such that for a fixed $D$ the ratio of the $2^{f-1}$ numerical sets that are mapped to $N(D,f)$ converges to a positive limit as $f$ goes to infinity. We denote the limit as ${\gamma }_D$, these constants sum up to $1$ meaning that they asymptotically account for almost all numerical sets.
