We give a necessary and sufficient condition for simplicial MPD-semigroups to be Buchsbaum in terms of pseudo-Frobenius elements. We give certain characterizations of ≺-almost symmetric C-semigroups. When the cone is full, we prove the irreducible C-semigroups, and ≺-almost symmetric C-semigroups with Betti-type three satisfy the extended Wilf conjecture. For e≥4, we give a class of MPD-semigroups in N² such that there is no upper bound on the Betti-type in terms of embedding dimension e. Thus, the Betti-type may not be a bounded function of the embedding dimension. We further explore the submonoids of N^d, which satisfy the Arf property, and prove that Arf submonoids containing multiplicity are PI-monoids.falseBetti-type | Maximal projective dimension semigroups | Pseudo-Frobenius elements | ≺-almost symmetric semigroupsArticle1432213720-42February 20241arJournal1WOS:001149439600001
