COMMENTS
A numerical semigroup is a set of natural numbers closed under addition. Its Frobenius number is the largest number not in it.

EXAMPLE
a(10)=4 because there are four such semigroups with Frobenius number 10. Their complements (and a generating triple) are: {1,2,3,5,6,10} (4,7,9); {1,2,3,5,6,9,10} (4,7,13); {1,2,4,5,7,10} (3,8,13); {1,2,4,5,7,8,10} (3,11,13).
