Abstract: Let $ A = K[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ denote the polynomial ring in $ n$ variables over a field $ K$ with each $ \operatorname{deg} x_i = 1$. Let $ I$ be a homogeneous ideal of $ A$ with $ I \neq A$ and $ H_{A/I}$ the Hilbert function of the quotient algebra $ A / I$. Given a numerical function $ H : {\mathbb{N}} \to {\mathbb{N}}$ satisfying $ H=H_{A/I}$ for some homogeneous ideal $ I$ of $ A$, we write $ \mathcal{A} _H$ for the set of those integers $ 0 \leq r \leq n$ such that there exists a homogeneous ideal $ I$ of $ A$ with $ H_{A/I} = H$ and with $ \operatorname{depth} A / I = r$. It will be proved that one has either $ \mathcal{A}_H = \{ 0, 1, \ldots, b \}$ for some $ 0 \leq b \leq n$ or $ \vert{\mathcal{A}}_H\vert = 1$.
