Let $\mathbb{N}$ be the set of nonnegative integers and $k$ be a positive
integer. A set $S\subseteq N^{k}$ is a \emph{linear set} if 
$\exists v_{0},v_{1},...,v_{t}$ in $\mathbb{N}^{k}$ such that
\[
    S=\left\{ v|v=v_{0}+a_{1}v_{1}+...+a_{t}v_{t},a_{i}\in N\right\}
\]
The vector $v_{0}$ (referred to as the \emph{constant vector}) and 
$v_{1},v_{2},...,v_{t}$ (referred to as the \emph{periods}) are called the
\emph{generators} of the linear set $S$.

A set $S\subseteq N^{k}$ is \emph{semilinear} if it is a finite
union of linear sets. $\emptyset $ is a trivial semilinear set where the set
of generators is empty. \emph{Every finite subset of }$N^{k}$\emph{
\ is semilinear} - it is a finite union of linear sets whose generators are
constant vectors. Clearly, \emph{semilinear} sets are closed under union and
projection. It is also know that semilinear sets are closed under
intersection and complementation.
