Numerical semigroups with a monotonic Apéry set
We study numerical semigroups with the property that if is the multiplicity of and is the least element of congruent with modulo , then . The set of numerical semigroups with this property and fixed multiplicity is bijective with an affine semigroup and consequently it can be described by a finite set of parameters. Invariants like the gender, type, embedding dimension and Frobenius number are computed for several families of this kind of numerical semigroups.
