Abstract

Let A=(a1,a2,...,an)A=(a_1, a_2, ..., a_n) be relative prime positive integers with ai2a_i\geq 2. The Frobenius number F(A)F(A) is the largest integer not belonging to the numerical semigroup A\langle A\rangle generated by AA. The genus g(A)g(A) is the number of positive integer elements that are not in A\langle A\rangle. The Frobenius problem is to find F(A)F(A) and g(A)g(A) for a given sequence AA. In this note, we study the Frobenius problem of A=(a,ba+d,b2a+b21b1d,...,bka+bk1b1d)A=\left(a,ba+d,b^2a+\frac{b^2-1}{b-1}d,...,b^ka+\frac{b^k-1}{b-1}d\right) and obtain formulas for F(A)F(A) and g(A)g(A) when ak1a\geq k-1. Our formulas simplifies further for some special cases, such as repunit, Mersenne and Thabit numerical semigroups. The idea is similar to that in [\cite{LiuXin23},arXiv:2306.03459].
