Fan–Tringali's sets-of-lengths conjecture for power monoids of numerical monoids

Let SS be a numerical monoid, and let Pfin(S)\mathcal P_{\mathrm{fin}}(S) denote its power monoid of finite nonempty subsets. For APfin(S)A\in\mathcal P_{\mathrm{fin}}(S), let L(A)\mathsf L(A) be the set of factorization lengths of AA in this monoid. Fan–Tringali's conjecture. For every numerical monoid SS and every finite nonempty subset LN2L\subset\mathbb N_{\ge 2}, there is a finite nonempty set ASA\subset S such that

L(A)=L.\mathsf L(A)=L.

This conjecture asserts that power monoids of numerical monoids realize every finite nonempty subset of N2\mathbb N_{\ge 2} as a set of lengths, extending the phenomenon known for several broad classes of monoids. Its status is not resolved in the supplied source.
