Let \(K\) be a field. A monomial curve in \({\mathbb A}^4\) is a curve defined by a prime ideal \(\mathfrak{p} = {\mathfrak p}(n_1,n_2,n_3,n_4)\) such that \(\text{g.c.d.}(n_1,n_2,n_3,n_4) = 1\) and \(\mathfrak{p}\) is the kernel of the map \(K[x_1,x_2,x_3, x_4] \rightarrow K[t]\) given by \[ x_1 \mapsto t^{n_1}, \;x_2 \mapsto t^{n_2}, \;x_3 \mapsto t^{n_3}, \;x_4 \mapsto t^{n_4}. \] In this paper the authors construct a family of monomial curves, and certain minimal generating sets of binomials for these curves, such that with increasing integers, the number of relations needed to obtain these binomials becomes arbitrarily large. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0913.00044].
