On a generalization of the Frobenius number

J. Integer Seq. 13(1), Article ID 10.1.4, 6 p., electronic only (2010)

Summary

Summary: We consider a generalization of the Frobenius problem, where the object of interest is the greatest integer having exactly $j$ representations by a collection of positive relatively prime integers. We prove an analogue of a theorem of Brauer and Shockley and show how it can be used for computation.
