On the Frobenius number of certain numerical semigroups
Abstract: Let $0<\lambda\leq1$, $\lambda\notin\left{\frac24, \frac27, \frac2{10}, \frac2{13}, \ldots\right}$, be a real and $p$ a prime number, with $[p,p+\lambda p]$ containing at least two primes. Denote by $f_\lambda(p)$ the largest integer which cannot be written as a sum of primes from $[p,p+\lambda p]$. Then [f_\lambda(p)\sim\left\lfloor2+\frac2\lambda\right\rfloor\cdot p\text{, as }p\text{ goes to infinity.}] Further a question of Wilf about the 'Money-Changing Problem' has a positive answer for all semigroups of multiplicity $p$ containing the primes from $[p,2p]$. In particular, this holds for the semigroup generated by all primes not less than $p$. The latter special case was already shown in a previous paper.
