Abstract

The aim of this work is to exhibit a decomposition of partitions of natural numbers and numerical sets. In particular, we obtain a decomposition of a sparse numerical set into the so called hook semigroups which turn out to be primitive. Since each Arf semigroup is sparse, we thus obtain a decomposition of any Arf semigroup into primitive numerical semigroups.
