Abstract

A numerical monoid is an additive submonoid of the non-negative integers. Given a numerical monoid [Formula: see text], consider the family of “shifted” monoids [Formula: see text] obtained by adding [Formula: see text] to each generator of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we examine minimal relations among the generators of [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] is sufficiently large, culminating in a description that is periodic in the shift parameter [Formula: see text]. We explore several applications to computation and factorization theory, and improve a recent result of Thanh Vu from combinatorial commutative algebra.
