Abstract
Let \(\bigtriangleup \) be a numerical semigroup and \({\mathrm{R}}(\bigtriangleup )=\left\{ S ~|~ S ~\text {is a} \text {numericalsemigroup and} ~S\subseteq \bigtriangleup \right\} \). We prove that \({\mathrm{R}}(\bigtriangleup )\) is Frobenius R-variety that can be arranged in a tree rooted in \(\bigtriangleup \). We introduce the concepts of Frobenius and genus number of S restricted to \(\bigtriangleup \) (respectively \(\mathrm{F}_{\bigtriangleup }(S)\) and \({\mathrm{g}}_{\bigtriangleup }(S)\)). We give formulas for \(\mathrm{F}_{\bigtriangleup }(S)\), \({\mathrm{g}}_{\bigtriangleup }(S)\) and generalizations of the Amorós’s and Wilf’s conjecture. Moreover, we will show that most of the results of irreducibility can be generalized to \({\mathrm{R}}(\bigtriangleup )\)-irreducibility.
