OverviewDuring 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 a1, ..., an, find the largest natural number (called the Frobenius number and denoted by g(a1, ..., an) that is not representable as a nonnegative integer combination of a1, ..., an. 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 formula giving 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 aud Full Product DetailsAuthor: Jorge Ramirez-AlfonsinPublisher: Oxford University Press, USA Imprint: Oxford University Press, USA ISBN: 9781280754074ISBN 10: 1280754079 Pages: 243 Publication Date: 01 January 2006 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Electronic book text Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
