Abstract

A number α\alpha has a representation with respect to the numbers α1,...,αn\alpha_1,...,\alpha_n, if there exist the non-negative integers λ1,...,λn\lambda_1,... ,\lambda_n such that α=λ1α1+...+λnαn\alpha=\lambda_1\alpha_1+...+\lambda_n \alpha_n. The largest natural number that does not have a representation with respect to the numbers α1,...,αn\alpha_1,...,\alpha_n is called the Frobenius number and is denoted by the symbol g(α1,...,αn)g(\alpha_1,...,\alpha_n). In this paper, we present a new algorithm to calculate the Frobenius number. Also we present the sequential form of the new algorithm.
