Pages 322-328 | Published online: 13 Dec 2017
 

Abstract

A large class of multiplicative submonoids of the natural numbers is presented, which includes congruence monoids as well as numerical monoids (by isomorphism). For monoids in this class, the important factorization property of finite elasticity is characterized.
