Abstract
Let and let be relatively prime integers. The Frobenius number of this -tuple is defined to be the largest positive integer that has no representation as where are non-negative integers. More generally, the -Frobenius number is defined to be the largest positive integer that has precisely distinct representations like this. We use techniques from the Geometry of Numbers to give upper and lower bounds on the -Frobenius number for any nonnegative integer .

Comments
We include an appendix with an erratum and addendum to the published version of this paper: two inaccuracies in the statement of Theorem 2.2 are corrected and additional bounds on s-Frobenius numbers are derived
