We generalize the geometric sequence {a p , a p−1 b, a p−2 b 2 , . . . , b p } to allow the p copies of a (resp. b) to all be different. We call the sequence {a1a2a3 · · · ap, b1a2a3 · · · ap, b1b2a3 · · · ap, . . . , b1b2b3 · · · bp} a compound sequence. We consider numerical semigroups whose minimal set of generators form a compound sequence, and compute various semigroup and arithmetical invariants, including the Frobenius number, Apéry sets, Betti elements, and catenary degree. We compute bounds on the delta set and the tame degree.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
