Wilf's conjecture for numerical semigroups

Abstract: Let

S s u b s e t e q m a t h b b N

be a numerical semigroup with multiplicity

m

, embedding dimension

u

and conductor

c = f + 1 = q m - h o

for some

q, h o i n m a t h b b N

with

h o < m

. Let Ap

(S, m) = w_{0} < w_{1} < l d o t s < w_{m - 1}

be the Ap'ery set of

S

. The aim of this paper is to prove Wilf's Conjecture in some special cases. First, we prove that if

w_{m - 1} g e q w_{1} + w_{a} l p h a

and

(2 + f r a c a l p h a - 3 q) u g e q m

for some

1 < a l p h a < m - 1

, then

S

satisfies Wilf's Conjecture. Then, we prove the conjecture in the following cases:

(2 + f r a c 1 q) u g e q m

,

m - u l e q 5

and

m = 9

. Finally, the conjecture is proved if

w_{m - 1} g e q w_{a l p h a - 1} + w_{a} l p h a

and

(f r a c a l p h a + 3 3) u g e q m

for some

1 < a l p h a < m - 1

.
