Such submonoids have a nontrivial set of pseudo-Frobenius elements. We generalize the notion of symmetric semigroups, pseudo-symmetric semigroups, and row-factorization matrices for pseudo-Frobenius elements of numerical semigroups to the case of MPD -semigroups in N<sup>d</sup>. Under suitable conditions, we prove that these semigroups satisfy the generalized Wilf’s conjecture. We prove that the generic nature of the defining ideal of the associated semigroup ring of an MPD -semigroup implies uniqueness of row-factorization matrix for each pseudo-Frobenius element. Further, we give a description of pseudo-Frobenius elements and row-factorization matrices of gluing of MPD -semigroups. We prove that the defining ideal of gluing of MPD -semigroups is never generic.falseFrobenius elements | Generic toric ideals | Maximal projective dimension semigroups | Pseudo-Frobenius elements | Row-factorization matrices | ≺ -symmetric semigroupsAffine semigroups of maximal projective dimensionArticle20384815703-727September 20236arJournal8WOS:000844463000002
