Abstract: Let $H$ be an atomic monoid. For $xinH$, let $mathsfL(x)$ denote the set of all possible lengths of factorizations of $x$ into irreducibles. The system of sets of lengths of $H$ is the set $mathcalL(H)=mathsfL(x)midxinH$. On the other hand, the elasticity of $x$, denoted by $ho(x)$, is the quotient $supmathsfL(x)/infmathsfL(x)$ and the elasticity of $H$ is the supremum of the set $ho(x)midxinH$. The system of sets of lengths and the elasticity of $H$ both measure how far is $H$ from being half-factorial, i.e., $|mathsfL(x)|=1$ for each $xinH$. Let $mathcalC$ denote the collection comprising all submonoids of finite-rank free commutative monoids, and let $mathcal{C}_d=HinmathcalCmidextrank(H)=d$. In this paper, we study the system of sets of lengths and the elasticity of monoids in $mathcalC$. First, we construct for each $dge2$ a monoid in $mathcal{C}_d$ having extremal system of sets of lengths. It has been proved before that the system of sets of lengths does not characterize (up to isomorphism) monoids in $mathcal{C}_1$. Here we use our construction to extend this result to $mathcal{C}_d$ for any $dge2$. On the other hand, it has been recently conjectured that the elasticity of any monoid in $mathcalC$ is either rational or infinite. We conclude this paper by proving that this is indeed the case for monoids in $mathcal{C}_2$ and for any monoid in $mathcalC$ whose corresponding convex cone is polyhedral.
