On permutation numerical semigroups

Abstract

In this paper we introduce the notion of $n$-permutation numerical semigroup. While there are just three $2$-permutation numerical semigroups, there are infinitely many $n$-permutation numerical semigroups if $n > 2$. We construct $16$ families of $3$-permutation numerical semigroups and one family of $n$-permutation numerical semigroups. Finally we present some experimental data, which seem to support a conjecture about the classification of $3$-permutation numerical semigroups.
