The parametric Frobenius problem and parametric exclusion
Abstract
The Frobenius number of relatively prime positive integers is the largest integer that is not a nononegative integer combination of the Given positive integers with the set of multiples of which have less than distinct representations as a nonnegative integer combination of the is bounded above, so we define to be the largest multiple of with less than distinct representations (which generalizes the Frobenius number) and to be the number of positive multiples of with less than distinct representations. In the parametric Frobenius problem, the arguments are polynomials. Let be integer valued polynomials of one variable which are eventually positive. We prove that and as functions of are eventually quasi-polynomial. A function is eventually quasi-polynomial if there exist and polynomials such that for such that for sufficiently large integers We do so by formulating a type of parametric problem that generalizes the parametric Frobenius Problem, which we call a parametric exclusion problem. We prove that the largest value of some polynomial objective function, with multiplicity, for a parametric exclusion problem and the size of its feasible set are eventually quasi-polynomial functions of
