We give a functional relationship that completely characterizes the set NR, and apply it to the case when the numbers are in an arithmetic progression.10 pagesNumber TheoryRepresentation Theory11D85, 11B25A characterization of the Frobenius problem and its application to arithmetic progressionstext
