Abstract
The Frobenius number of a set of non-negative integers with is the largest integer not expressible as a linear combination of elements of . Given a sequence , we can define the associated sequence . In this paper we compute for some classical automatic sequences: the evil numbers, the odious numbers, and the lower and upper Wythoff sequences. In contrast with the usual methods, our proofs are based largely on automata theory and logic.
