### B. Random functions

Here we describe some functions which allow to create several "random" objects.

#### B.1 Random functions

##### B.1-1 RandomNumericalSemigroup

`> RandomNumericalSemigroup`( n, m ) | ( attribute )

Returns a ``random" numerical semigroup with no more than n generators in [1..m].

    gap> RandomNumericalSemigroup(3,9);
    <Numerical semigroup with 3 generators>

##### B.1-2 RandomListForNS

`> RandomListForNS`( n, m ) | ( attribute )

Returns a set of length not greater than n of random integers in [1..m] whose GCD is 1. It is used to create "random" numerical semigroups.

    gap> RandomListForNS(13,79);
    [ 22, 26, 29, 31, 34, 46, 53, 61, 62, 73, 76 ]

##### B.1-3 RandomModularNumericalSemigroup

`> RandomModularNumericalSemigroup`( k ) | ( attribute )

Returns a ``random" modular numerical semigroup.

    gap> RandomModularNumericalSemigroup(9);
    <Modular numerical semigroup satisfying 5x mod 6 <= x >

##### B.1-4 RandomProportionallyModularNumericalSemigroup

`> RandomProportionallyModularNumericalSemigroup`( k ) | ( attribute )

Returns a ``random" proportionally modular numerical semigroup (see 1.).

    gap> RandomProportionallyModularNumericalSemigroup(9);
    <Proportionally modular numerical semigroup satisfying 2x mod 3 <= 2x >

##### B.1-5 RandomListRepresentingSubAdditiveFunction

`> RandomListRepresentingSubAdditiveFunction`( m, a ) | ( attribute )

Produces a ``random" list representing a subadditive function (see 1.) which is periodic with period m (or less). When possible, the images are in [a..20*a]. (Otherwise, the list of possible images is enlarged.)

    gap> RandomListRepresentingSubAdditiveFunction(7,9);
    [ 173, 114, 67, 0 ]
    gap> RepresentsPeriodicSubAdditiveFunction(last);
    true
