On finitary power monoids of linearly orderable monoids

Abstract

A commutative monoid $M$ is called a linearly orderable monoid if there exists a total order on $M$ that is compatible with the monoid operation. The finitary power monoid of a commutative monoid $M$ is the monoid consisting of all nonempty finite subsets of $M$ under the so-called sumset. In this paper, we investigate whether certain atomic and divisibility properties ascend from linearly orderable monoids to their corresponding finitary power monoids.
