Abstract: We study a generalization of the emph{Frobenius problem}: given k positive relatively prime integers, what is the largest integer g0 that cannot be represented as a nonnegative integral linear combination of these parameters? More generally, what is the largest integer gs that has exactly s such representations? We illustrate a family of parameters, based on a recent paper by Tripathi, whose generalized Frobenius numbers g0,g1,g2,... exhibit unnatural jumps; namely, form an arithmetic progression, and any integer larger than has at least representations. Along the way, we introduce a variation of a generalized Frobenius number and prove some basic results about it.
