COMMENTS

The Frobenius number of a 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. Since consecutive octahedral numbers are relatively prime, they generate a numerical semigroup with a Frobenius number. The Frobenius number of a 2-generated semigroup <a,b> has the formula ab-a-b.

FORMULA

a(n)=((1/3)n(2n^2+1)-1)((1/3)(n+1)(2(n+1)^2+1)-1)-1.

G.f.: x^2*(89+150*x+69*x^2+20*x^3-13*x^4+6*x^5-x^6)/(1-x)^7. [Colin Barker, Feb 12 2012]

EXAMPLE

a(2)=89 because 89 is not a nonnegative linear combination of 6 and 19 (the second and third octahedral numbers), but all integers greater than 89 are.
