Abstract
Given a number field that is a subfield of the real numbers, we generalize the notion of the classical Frobenius problem to the ring of integers of by describing certain Frobenius semigroups, , for appropriate elements . We construct a partial ordering on , and show that this set is completely described by the maximal elements with respect to this ordering. We also show that will always have finitely many such maximal elements, but in general, the number of maximal elements can grow without bound as is fixed and vary. Explicit examples of the Frobenius semigroups are also calculated for certain cases in real quadratic number fields.
