Gapset Extensions, Theory and Computations

Abstract

In this paper we extend some set theoretic concepts of numerical semigroups for arbitrary sub-semigroups of natural numbers. Then we characterized gapsets which leads to a more efficient computational approach towards numerical semigroups and finally we introduce the extension of gapsets and prove that the sequence of the number of gapsets of size $g$ is non-decreasing as a weak version of Bras-Amorós's conjecture.
