The set of lengths is denoted by L(s) = {L(x(1), ... , x(p)) vertical bar (x(1), ... , x(p)) is an element of Z(s)}, where L(x(1), ... , x(p)) = x(1) + ... + x(p). The following sets can then be defined: W(n) = {s is an element of S vertical bar there exists x is an element of Z(s) such that L(x) = n}, nu(n) = boolean OR(s is an element of W(n)) L(s) = {l(1) < l(2) < ... < l(r)} and Delta nu(n) = {l(2) l(1), ... , l(r) - l(r-1)}. In this paper, we prove that the function Delta nu : N -> P(N) is almost periodic with period lcm(a(1), a(p)).}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {delta-set; non-unique factorization; numerical monoid; numerical semigroup}, keywords = {delta-set}, keywords = {non-unique factorization}, keywords = {numerical monoid}, keywords = {numerical semigroup}, title = {Union of Sets of Lengths of Numerical Semigroups}, doi = {10.3390/math8101789}, author = {García García, Juan Ignacio and Marín Aragón, Daniel and Vigneron Tenorio, Alberto}, }
