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…

Let $N \geq2$ and let $1 < a_1 < ... < a_N$ be relatively prime integers. Frobenius number of this $N$-tuple is defined to be the largest positive integer that cannot be expressed as $\sum_{i=1}^N a_i x_i$ where $x_1,...,x_N$ are…

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…

The Frobenius number $g(S)$ of a set $S$ of non-negative integers with $\gcd 1$ is the largest integer not expressible as a linear combination of elements of $S$. Given a sequence ${\bf s} = (s_i)_{i \geq 0}$, we can define the associated…

Given positive integers $a_1,...,a_n$ with $\gcd(a_1,...,a_n) = 1$, we call an integer t representable if there exist nonnegative integers $m_1,...,m_n$ such that $t = m_1 a_1 + ... + m_n a_n$. In this paper, we discuss the linear…

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…

The greatest integer that does not belong to a numerical semigroup S is called the Frobenius number of S, and finding the Frobenius number is called the Frobenius problem. In this paper, we solve the Frobenius problem for shifted square…

A numerical semigroup is a sub-semigroup of the natural numbers that has a finite complement. The size of its complement is called the genus and the largest number in the complement is called its Frobenius number. We consider the set of…
