A lower bound for the Wilf density, deduced from a result of Zhai

Abstract: Let

S e q m a t h b b N

be a numerical semigroup with Frobenius number

f

, genus

g

and embedding dimension

e

. In 1978 Wilf asked the question, whether

f r a c f + 1 - g f + 1 g e q f r a c 1 e

. As is well known, this holds in the cases

e = 2

and

e = 3

. From Zhai's results in [5] we derive [frac{f+1-g}{f+1}geqfrac2{e^2-e+2} ext{ for }egeq4,.]
