Let $0<\lambda\leq1$, $\lambda\notin\left\{\frac24, \frac27, \frac2{10}, \frac2{13}, \ldots\right\}$, be a real and $p$ a prime number, with $[p,p+\lambda p]$ containing at least two primes. Denote by $f_\lambda(p)$ the largest integer…

It turns out that all instances of the diophantine Frobenius problem for three coprime a_i have a common geometric structure which is independent of arithmetic coincidences among the a_i. By exploiting this structure we easily obtain…

The Frobenius Coin Problem is a classic question in mathematics: given coins of specified denominations, what is the largest amount that cannot be formed using only those coins? This brief work covers a variation of such question, posing a…

The abc conjecture, one of the most famous open problems in number theory, claims that three positive integers satisfying a+b=c cannot simultaneously have significant repetition among their prime factors; in particular, the product of the…

We compute the Frobenius number for sequences of triangular and tetrahedral numbers. In addition, we study some properties of the numerical semigroups associated to those sequences.

We prove that the greatest positive integer that is not expressible as a linear combination with integer coefficients of elements of the set $\{n^2,(n+1)^2,\ldots \}$ is asymptotically $O(n^2)$, verifying thus a conjecture of Dutch and…

Expanding on recent results of another an algorithm is presented that provides solution to the Frobenius Coin Problem in worst case O(n^2) in the magnitude of the largest denomination.

For a prime p, we call a positive integer n a Frobenius p-number if there exists a finite group with exactly n subgroups of order p^a for some $a\ge 0$. Extending previous results on Sylow's theorem, we prove in this paper that every…

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…

In the Frobenius problem we are given a set of coprime, positive integers $a_1, a_2,...,a_k$, and are interested in the set of positive numbers NR that have no representation by the linear form $\sum_i a_ix_i$ in nonnegative integers $x_1,…

The Frobenius primality test is based on the properties of the Frobenius automorphism of the quadratic extension of the residue field. Although it is probabilistic, we show that is "very rarely wrong". To date there are no counterexamples…

Given a set of positive integers A = {a_1,...,a_n}, we study the number p_A (t) of nonnegative integer solutions (m_1,...,m_n) to m_1 a_1 + ... m_n a_n = t. We derive an explicit formula for the polynomial part of p_A.

Let $S=\left\langle s_1,\ldots,s_n\right\rangle$ be a numerical semigroup generated by the relatively prime positive integers $s_1,\ldots,s_n$. Let $k\geqslant 2$ be an integer. In this paper, we consider the following $k$-power variant of…

For given positive integers $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_k$ with $\gcd(a_1,a_2,\dots,a_k)=1$, the denumerant $d(n)=d(n;a_1,a_2,\dots,a_k)$ is the number of nonnegative solutions $(x_1,x_2,\dots,x_k)$ of the linear equation $a_1 x_1+a_2 x_2+\dots+a_k…

In this paper we compute the Frobenius number of certain {\em Fibonacci numerical semigroups}, that is, numerical semigroups generated by a set of Fibonacci numbers, in terms of Fibonacci numbers.

We classify Frobenius forms, a special class of homogeneous polynomials in characteristic $p>0$, in up to five variables over an algebraically closed field. We also point out some of the similarities with quadratic forms.

We prove an asymptotic formula for the mean value of Frobenius numbers with three arguments. To prove this we use a new method invented by A. Ustinov, Rodseth's algorithm an bounds for exponential sums.

Let $n$ be a positive integer greater than $2$. We define \textit{the Proth numerical semigroup}, $P_{k}(n)$, generated by $\{k 2^{n+i}+1 \,\mid\, i \in \mathbb{N}\}$, where $k$ is an odd positive number and $k < 2^{n}$. In this paper, we…
