contents Let $M$ be a cancellative and commutative monoid. A non-invertible element of $M$ is called an atom (or irreducible element) if it cannot be factored into two non-invertible elements, while an atom $a$ of $M$ is called strong if $a^n$ has a unique factorization in $M$ for every $n \in \mathbb{N}$. The monoid $M$ is atomic if every non-invertible element factors into finitely many atoms (repetitions allowed). For an algebraic number $α$, we let $M_α$ denote the additive monoid of the subsemiring $\mathbb{N}_0[α]$ of $\mathbb{C}$. The atomic structure of $M_α$ reflects intricate interactions between algebraic number theory and additive semigroup theory. For $m, n \in \mathbb{N}_0 \cup \{ \infty \}$ (with $m \le n$), the pair $(m,n)$ is called realizable if there exists an algebraic number $α\in \mathbb{C}$ such that $M_α$ has $m$ strong atoms and $n$ atoms. Our primary goal is to identify classes of realizable pairs with the long-term goal of providing a complete description of the full set of realizable pairs.

Let $M$ be a cancellative and commutative monoid. A non-invertible element of $M$ is called an atom (or irreducible element) if it cannot be factored into two non-invertible elements, while an atom $a$ of $M$ is called strong if $a^n$ has a unique factorization in $M$ for every $n \in \mathbb{N}$. The monoid $M$ is atomic if every non-invertible element factors into finitely many atoms (repetitions allowed). For an algebraic number $α$, we let $M_α$ denote the additive monoid of the subsemiring $\mathbb{N}_0[α]$ of $\mathbb{C}$. The atomic structure of $M_α$ reflects intricate interactions between algebraic number theory and additive semigroup theory. For $m, n \in \mathbb{N}_0 \cup \{ \infty \}$ (with $m \le n$), the pair $(m,n)$ is called realizable if there exists an algebraic number $α\in \mathbb{C}$ such that $M_α$ has $m$ strong atoms and $n$ atoms.
