The dead-end depth of an element g of a group with finite generating set A is the distance from g to the complement of the radius d(1,g) closed ball, in the word metric d associated to A. We exhibit a finitely presented group K with two…

The purpose of this note is to provide a reference for the fact that the strong Frobenius number, in the sense of Eaton and Livesey, of a block of a finite group with a cyclic defect group is equal to one. This answers a question of Farrell…

The Frobenius number F(a) of an integer vector a with positive coprime coefficients is defined as the largest number that does not have a representation as a positive integer linear combination of the coefficients of a. We show that if a is…

Given coprime positive integers $a_1 < ...< a_d$, the Frobenius number $F$ is the largest integer which is not representable as a non-negative integer combination of the $a_i$. Let $g$ denote the number of all non-representable positive…

Let $N \geq 2$ and let $1 < a_1 < ... < a_N$ be relatively prime integers. The Frobenius number of this $N$-tuple is defined to be the largest positive integer that has no representation as $\sum_{i=1}^N a_i x_i$ where $x_1,...,x_N$ are…

We present two results related to an edge-isoperimetric question for Cayley graphs on the integer lattice asked by Ben Barber and Joshua Erde [Isoperimetry of Integer Lattices, Discrete Analysis 7 (2018)]. For any (undirected) graph $G$,…

The Frobenius number g(a) of an integer vector a with positive coprime coefficients is defined as the largest integer that does not have a representation as a non-negative integer linear combination of the coefficients of a. According to a…

Given a finitely generated $G$ and a subgraph $H \leq G$, the relative number of ends $e(G,H)$ is the number of ends of a Schreier graph $\mathrm{Sch}(G,H)$ and the number of coends $\tilde{e}(G,H)$ is the maximal number of $H$-infinite…

We study the Frobenius problem: given relatively prime positive integers a_1,...,a_d, find the largest value of t (the Frobenius number g(a_1,...,a_d)) such that m_1 a_1 + ... m_d a_d = t has no solution in nonnegative integers m_1,...,m_d.…

This note shows there are infinitely many finite groups G, such that every connected Cayley graph on G has a hamiltonian cycle, and G is not solvable. Specifically, for every prime p that is congruent to 1, modulo 30, we show there is a…

The deficiency of a group is the maximum over all presentations for that group of the number of generators minus the number of relators. Every finite group has non-positive deficiency. We show that every non-positive integer is the…

For a non-negative integer $p$, one of the generalized Frobenius numbers, that is called the $p$-Frobenius number, is the largest integer that is represented at most in $p$ ways as a linear combination with nonnegative integer coefficients…

We derive the lower bound for Frobenius number of symmetric (not complete intersection) semigroups generated by four elements.

A numerical set is a co-finite subset of the natural numbers that contains zero. Its Frobenius number is the largest number in its complement. Each numerical set has an associated semigroup $A(T)=\{t\mid t+T\subseteq T\}$, which has the…

Diophantine tuples are of ancient and modern interest, with a huge literature. In this paper we study Diophantine graphs, i.e., finite graphs whose vertices are distinct positive integers, and two vertices are linked by an edge if and only…

In this paper we investigate the following general problem. Let $G$ be a group and let $i(G)$ be a property of $G$. Is there an integer $d$ such that $G$ contains a $d$-generated subgroup $H$ with $i(H)=i(G)$? Here we consider the case…

We find the misere monoids of normal-play canonical-form integer and non-integer numbers. These come as consequences of more general results for the universe of `dead-ending' games. Left and right `ends' have previously been defined as…

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…

Let $a,b$ be positive, relatively prime, integers. Our goal is to characterize, in an elementary way, all positive integers $c$ that can be expressed as a linear combination of $a,b$ with non-negative integer coefficients and discuss the…

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…
