Length density is a recently introduced factorization invariant, assigned to each element n of a cancellative commutative atomic semigroup S, that measures how far the set of factorization lengths of n is from being a full interval. We examine length density of elements of numerical semigroups (that is, additive subsemigroups of the non-negative integers).
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.
