For positive integers a, k, let Ak(a) denote the sequence ak, ak + 1, ak + a, . . . , ak + ak−1. Let Γ ( Ak(a) ) denote the set of integers that are expressible as a linear combination of elements of Ak(a) with non-negative integer coefficients. We determine g ( Ak(a) ) and n ( Ak(a) ) which denote the largest (respectively, the number of) positive integer(s) not in Γ ( Ak(a) ) . We also determ...
