Abstract
Given a numerical semigroup S, a nonnegative integer a and m ∈ S ∖ {0}, we introduce the set C(S, a, m) = {s + aw(s mod m) | s ∈ S}, where {w(0), w(1), ⋯, w(m – 1)} is the Apéry set of m in S. In this paper we characterize the pairs (a, m) such that C(S, a, m) is a numerical semigroup. We study the principal invariants of C(S, a, m) which are given explicitly in terms of invariants of S. We also characterize the compositions C(S, a, m) that are symmetric, pseudo-symmetric and almost symmetric. Finally, a result about compliance to Wilf’s conjecture of C(S, a, m) is given.
