On the Frobenius number for three variables

Number Theory 2026-03-04 v1

Abstract

For positive integers aa, bb, and cc which have no common divisor, the Frobenius number of aa, bb and cc is defined to be the largest integer that cannot be expressed as a linear combination of aa, bb and cc with non-negative integer coefficients. In 2017, Tripathi gave an algorithmic formula for the Frobenius number in three variables, however there were some minor inconsistencies in the formula. In this paper, we settle these inconsistencies.
