Sylvester power and weighted sums on the Frobenius set in arithmetic progression
Abstract
Let $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_k$ be positive integers with $\gcd(a_1,a_2,\dots,a_k)=1$. Frobenius number is the largest positive integer that is NOT representable in terms of $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_k$. When $k\ge 3$, there is no explicit formula in general, but some formulae may exist for special sequences $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_k$, including, those forming arithmetic progressions and their modifications. In this paper, we give formulae for the power and weighted sum of nonrepresentable positive integers. As applications, we show explicit expressions of these sums for $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_k$ forming arithmetic progressions.
