Longest and shortest factorizations in embedding dimension three

Baian Liu and JiaYan Yap

Vol. 16 (2023), No. 4, 673–688
Abstract

For a numerical monoid n1,,nk minimally generated by n1,,nk , with n1 < < nk, the longest and shortest factorization lengths of an element x, denoted as L(x) and (x), respectively, follow the identities L(x + n1) = L(x) + 1 and (x + nk) = (x) + 1 for sufficiently large elements x. We characterize when these identities hold for all elements of numerical monoids of embedding dimension three.
