Abstract
Wilf Conjecture on numerical semigroups is a question posed by Wilf in 1978 and is an inequality connecting the Frobenius number, embedding dimension and the genus of the semigroup. The conjecture is still open in general. We prove that this Wilf inequality is preserved under gluing of numerical semigroups. If the numerical semigroups minimally generated by and satisfy the Wilf inequality, then so does their gluing which is minimally generated by . We discuss the extended Wilf’s Conjecture in higher dimensions for certain affine semigroups and prove an analogous result.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Algebra and Its Applications will publish papers both on theoretical and on applied aspects of Algebra. There is special interest in papers that point out innovative links between areas of Algebra and fields of application. As the field of Algebra continues to experience tremendous growth and diversification, we intend to provide the mathematical community with a central source for information on both the theoretical and the applied aspects of the discipline. While the journal will be primarily devoted to the publication of original research, extraordinary expository articles that encourage communication between algebraists and experts on areas of application as well as those presenting the state of the art on a given algebraic sub-discipline will be considered.
