                    Ideals of numerical semigroups
                </Heading>
                Let <M>S</M> be a numerical semigroup. A set <M>I</M> of integers is an <E>ideal relative</E>
                to a numerical semigroup <M>S</M> provided that <M>I+S\subseteq I</M> and that there
                exists <M>d\in S</M> such that <M>d+I\subseteq S</M>.
                <P/>
                If <M>\{i_1,\ldots,i_k\}</M> is a subset of <M>{\mathbb Z}</M>, then the set
                <M>I=\{i_1,\ldots,i_k\}+S=\bigcup_{n=1}^k i_n+S</M> is an ideal relative to <M>S</M>,
                and <M>\{i_1,\ldots, i_k\}</M> is a system of generators of <M>I</M>. A system of generators 
                <M>M</M> is minimal if no proper subset of <M>M</M> generates the same ideal.
                Usually, ideals are specified by means of its generators and the ambient numerical
                semigroup to which they are ideals (for more information see for instance
                <Cite Key="BDF97"></Cite>).

                        in <Cite Key="E01"></Cite>. For their computation we have used the formula
                        given in <Cite Key="BF06"></Cite>. The Ap\'ery set of <A>S</A> and its
                        blow up are involved in this computation.

                Let <M>R</M> a Noetherian ring such that <M>K \subseteq R \subseteq K[[t]]</M>, <M>K</M> 
                is a field of characteristic zero, the algebraic closure of <M>R</M> is <M>K[[t]]</M>, 
                and the conductor <M>(R : K[[t]])</M> is not zero. If <M>v : K((t))\to {\mathbb Z}</M> is 
                the natural valuation for <M>K((t))</M>, then <M>v(R)</M> is a numerical semigroup.
                <P/>
                Let <M>S</M> be a numerical semigroup minimally generated by <M>\{n_1,\ldots,n_e\}</M>. 
                The semigroup ring associated to <M>S</M> is <M>K[[S]]=K[[t^{n_1},\ldots,t^{n_e}]]</M>. 
                A ring is called a semigroup ring if it is of the form <M>K[[S]]</M>, for some numerical 
                semigroup <M>S</M>. We say that <M>S</M> is a monomial numerical semigroup if for any 
                <M>R</M> as above with <M>v(R)=S</M>, <M>R</M> is a semigroup ring. See <Cite Key="VMic02"></Cite> for details.
