Let \(M\) be a commutative multiplicative cancellative atomic monoid and \(M^*\) its set of non-units. For \(a\in M^*\), let \(L(a)\subset\mathbb{N}\) be the set of all lengths of factorizations of \(a\) into atoms, \(\rho(a)=\sup(L(a))/\min(L(a))\) the elasticity of \(a\) and \(\rho(M)=\sup\{\rho(a)\mid a\in M^*\}\) the elasticity of \(M\) (for basic concepts of factorization theory see \textit{A. Geroldinger} and \textit{F. Halter-Koch}, Non-unique factorizations. Algebraic, combinatorial and analytic theory. [Pure Appl. Math. 278, Boca Raton: Chapman \& Hall/CRC (2006; Zbl 1113.11002)]). \(M\) is called fully elastic if \(\{\rho(x)\mid x\in M^*\}=[1,\rho(M)]\cap\mathbb{Q}\). An integral domain is called fully elastic if the monoid of its non-zero elements has this property. The authors investigate several classes of monoids and domains (in particular, numerical monoids and Krull domains) whether or not they are fully elastic.
