Abstract

The famous linear diophantine problem of Frobenius is the problem to determine the largest integer (Frobenius number) whose number of representations in terms of a1,,aka_1,\dots,a_k is at most zero, that is not representable. In other words, all the integers greater than this number can be represented for at least one way. One of the natural generalizations of this problem is to find the largest integer (generalized Frobenius number) whose number of representations is at most a given nonnegative integer pp. It is easy to find the explicit form of this number in the case of two variables. However, no explicit form has been known even in any special case of three variables. In this paper we are successful to show explicit forms of the generalized Frobenius numbers of the triples of triangular numbers. When p=0p=0, their Frobenius number is given by Robles-P\'erez and Rosales in 2018.
