| Summary | Annotation During the early part of the last century, Ferdinand Georg Frobenius (1849-1917) raised he following problem, known as the Frobenius Problem (FP): given relatively prime positive integers ia1,...,an,/i find the largest natural number (called the Frobenius number and denoted by ig(a1,...,an/i)that is not representable as a nonnegative integer combination of ia1,...,an,/i .At first glance FP may look deceptively specialized. Nevertheless it crops up again and again in the most unexpected places and has been extremely useful in investigating many different problems. A number of methods, from several areas of mathematics, have been used in the hope of finding a formulagiving the Frobenius number and algorithms to calculate it. The main intention of this book is to highlight such methods, ideas, viewpoints and applications to a broader audience. |
