On proportionally modular numerical semigroups that are generated by arithmetic progressions

Abstract: A numerical semigroup is a submonoid of

{m a t h b b Z}_{g e 0}

whose complement in

{m a t h b b Z}_{g e 0}

is finite. For any set of positive integers

a, b, c

, the numerical semigroup

S (a, b, c)

formed by the set of solutions of the inequality

is said to be proportionally modular. For any interval

,

is the submonoid of

{m a t h b b Z}_{g e 0}

obtained by intersecting the submonoid of

{m a t h b b Q}_{g e 0}

generated by

with

{m a t h b b Z}_{g e 0}

. For the numerical semigroup

S

generated by a given arithmetic progression, we characterize

a, b, c

and

such that both

S (a, b, c)

and

equal

S

.
