FrobeniusSolve

FrobeniusSolve[{a1,…,an},b]

gives a list of all solutions of the Frobenius equation .

FrobeniusSolve[{a1,…,an},b,m]

gives at most m solutions.

Details

  • The Frobenius equation is the Diophantine equation , where the ai are positive integers, b is an integer, and a solution must consist of non-negative integers. For negative b there are no solutions.
