The skew growth functions for the monoid of type $\mathrm{B_{ii}}$ and others

Abstract

For a class of positive homogeneously presented cancellative monoids whose heights are greater than or equal to 2, we will present several explicit calculations of the skew growth functions for them. By the inversion formula, the spherical growth functions for them can be determined. For most of them, the direct calculations are not known. The datum of certain lemmas for proving the cancellativity of the monoids are indispensable to the calculations of the skew growth functions. By improving the technique to show the lemmas, we succeed in the calculations.
