COMMENT
|
The Frobenius number of the numerical semigroup generated by relatively prime integers a_1,...,a_n is the largest positive integer that is not a nonnegative linear combination of a_1,...,a_n. Any three successive triangular numbers are relatively prime, so they generate a numerical semigroup with a Frobenius number.

EXAMPLE
|
a(2)=17 because 17 is not a nonnegative linear combination of 3, 6, and 10 but all numbers greater than 17 are.
