      The Frobenius number associated with a finite set of positive integers is the largest number which is not a positive integral linear combination of the given set. The authors use powerful results of commutative algebra to prove in two ways that the Frobenius number is an invariant of the semigroup algebra associated to the given set. Each proof gives rise to an algorithm for computing the Frobenius number.
