Distributions of weights and a question of Wilf

Publication date 17 April 2018

Abstract: Let

S

be a numerical semigroup of embedding dimension

e

and conductor

c

. The question of Wilf is, if

.

oindent In (An asymptotic result concerning a question of Wilf, arXiv:1111.2779v1 [math.CO], 2011, Lemma 3), Zhai has shown an analogous inequality for the distribution of weights $x c d o t g a m m a$ , $x i n m a t h b b N^{d}$ , w.,r. to a positive weight vector $g a m m a$ :

oindent Let

B s u b s e t e q m a t h b b N^{d}

be finite and the complement of an

m a t h b b N^{d}

-ideal. Denote by

o p e r a t o r n a m e m e a n (B c d o t g a m m a)

the average weight of

B

. Then [operatorname{mean}(Bcdotgamma)/max(Bcdotgamma)leq d/d+1.]

For the family

D e l t a_{n} := x i n m a t h b b N^{d} | x c d o t g a m m a < n + 1

of such sets we are able to show, that

o p e r a t o r n a m e m e a n (D e l t a_{n} c d o t g a m m a) / m a x (D e l t a_{n} c d o t g a m m a)

converges to

d / d + 1

, as

n

goes to infinity.

Applying Zhai's Lemma 3 to the Hilbert function of a positively graded Artinian algebra yields a new class of numerical semigroups satisfying Wilf's inequality.
