On some numerical semigroup transforms

In this paper we introduce a particular semigroup transform $\mathcal{A}$ that fixes the invariants involved in Wilf’s conjecture, except the embedding dimension. It also allows one to arrange the set of not ordinary and not irreducible numerical semigroups in a family of rooted trees. We study also another transform, having similar features, that has been introduced by Bras-Amorós, and we make a comparison of them. In particular we study the behaviour of the embedding dimension under the action of such transforms, providing some consequences concerning Wilf’s conjecture.
