Semigroup-theoretical characterizations of arithmetical invariants with applications to numerical monoids and Krull monoids. (Q358929)

There are several arithmetical invariants related to factorization properties in atomic monoids, for example \(\omega\)-invariants [\textit{A. Geroldinger} and \textit{W. Hassler}, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 212, No. 6, 1509-1524 (2008; Zbl 1133.20047)], catenary degree, tame degree, elasticity [see \textit{A. Geroldinger} and \textit{F. Halter-Koch}, Non-unique factorizations. Algebraic, combinatorial and analytic theory. Pure Appl. Math. (Boca Raton) 278. Boca Raton: Chapman \& Hall/CRC (2006; Zbl 1113.11002)]. The authors study relations between these invariants and the algebraic structure of the monoid considered. The results obtained get a more concrete form in the case of Krull monoids and numerical monoids.
