Abstract
AbstractA numerical semigroup is a sub-monoid of the natural numbers under addition that has a finite complement. The size of its complement is called the genus and the largest number in the complement is called its Frobenius number. We consider the set of numerical semigroups with a fixed Frobenius number f and analyse their genus. We find the asymptotic distribution of genus in this set of numerical semigroups and show that it is a product of a Gaussian and a power series. We show that almost all numerical semigroups with Frobenius number f have genus close to $$\frac{3f}{4}$$
