Abstract
Given coprime positive integers , the Frobenius number is the largest integer which is not representable as a non-negative integer combination of the . Let denote the number of all non-representable positive integers: Wilf conjectured that . We prove that for every fixed value of the conjecture holds for all values of which are sufficiently large and are not divisible by a finite set of primes. We also propose a generalization in the context of one-dimensional local rings and a question on the equality .
