Abstract

Let k2k\ge 2 and a1,a2,,aka_1, a_2, \cdots, a_k be positive integers with gcd(a1,a2,,ak)=1. \gcd(a_1, a_2, \cdots, a_k)=1. It is proved that there exists a positive integer Ga1,a2,,akG_{a_1, a_2, \cdots, a_k} such that every integer nn strictly greater than it can be represented as the form n=a1x1+a2x2++akxk,(x1,x2,,xkZ0, gcd(x1,x2,,xk)=1). n=a_1x_1+a_2x_2+\cdots+a_kx_k, \quad (x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_k\in\mathbb{Z}_{\ge 0},~\gcd(x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_k)=1). We then investigate the size of Ga1,a2G_{a_1, a_2} explicitly. Our result strengthens the primality requirement of xx's in the classical Diophantine Frobenius Problem.
