COMMENT

The Frobenius number of a numerical semigroup generated by relatively prime integers a_1,...,a_n is the greatest positive integer that is not a nonnegative linear combination of a_1,...,a_n. Since three consecutive pentagonal numbers are relatively prime, they generate a numerical semigroup with a Frobenius number.

REFERENCES

R. Froberg, C. Gottlieb and R. Haggkvist, "On numerical semigroups", Semigroup Forum, 35 (1987), 63-83 (for definition of Frobenius number).

EXAMPLE

a(2)=43 because 43 is not a nonnegative linear combination of 5, 12 and 22, but all integers greater than 43 are.
