We study commutative algebra arising from generalised Frobenius numbers. The $k$-th (generalised) Frobenius number of natural numbers $(a_1,\dots,a_n)$ is the largest natural number that cannot be written as a non-negative integral…

For positive integers $a$, $b$, and $c$ which have no common divisor, the Frobenius number of $a$, $b$ and $c$ is defined to be the largest integer that cannot be expressed as a linear combination of $a$, $b$ and $c$ with non-negative…

We study the Frobenius problem: given relatively prime positive integers $a_1,...,a_d$, find the largest value of t (the Frobenius number) such that $\sum_{k=1}^d m_k a_k = t$ has no solution in nonnegative integers $m_1,...,m_d$. Based on…

A number $\alpha$ has a representation with respect to the numbers $\alpha_1,...,\alpha_n$, if there exist the non-negative integers $\lambda_1,... ,\lambda_n$ such that $\alpha=\lambda_1\alpha_1+...+\lambda_n \alpha_n$. The largest natural…

Given relatively prime integers $a_1, \dotsc, a_n$, the Frobenius number $g(a_1, \dotsc, a_n)$ is defined as the largest integer which cannot be expressed as $x_1 a_1 + \dotsb + x_n a_n$ with $x_i$ nonnegative integers. In this article, we…

Given relatively prime positive integers a_1,...,a_n, the Frobenius number is the largest integer that cannot be written as a nonnegative integer combination of the a_i. We examine the parametric version of this problem: given a_i=a_i(t) as…

The greatest integer that does not belong to $S$ is the Frobenius number of $S$ and denoted by $F(S)$. To solve the Frobenius problem means the study to find $F(S)$. The Frobenius problem have treated steadily for a long time. In this…
