Article dans Les Conjectures du Trimestre - Images des Mathématiques - CNRS, France
Les semigroupes numériques sont des objets mathématiques fascinants, à l'origine de nombreux défis mathématiques malgré leur apparente simplicité. La suite de Fibonacci et le nombre d'or s'y trouvent impliqués de façon complètement inattendue!
