There exist two different sorts of gaps in the nonsymmetric numerical additive semigroups finitely generated by a minimal set of positive integers {d 1 , . . . , dm}. The h-gaps are specific only for the nonsymmetric semigroups while the g-gaps are possessed by both, symmetric and nonsymmetric semigroups. We derive the generating functions for the corresponding sets of gaps, ∆ H (d m ) and ∆ G (d m ), and prove several statements on the minimal and maximal values of the h-gaps. Detailed description of both sorts of gaps is given for three special kinds of nonsymmetric semigroups: semigroups with maximal embedding dimension, semigroups of maximal and almost maximal length, and pseudo-symmetric semigroups.
