    On a conjecture of Wilf about the Frobenius number

    Given coprime positive integers a1<...<ada_1 < ...< a_d, the Frobenius number FF is the largest integer which is not representable as a non-negative integer combination of the aia_i. Let gg denote the number of all non-representable positive integers: Wilf conjectured that dF+1F+1gd \geq \frac{F+1}{F+1-g}. We prove that for every fixed value of a1d\lceil \frac{a_1}{d} \rceil the conjecture holds for all values of a1a_1 which are sufficiently large and are not divisible by a finite set of primes. We also propose a generalization in the context of one-dimensional local rings and a question on the equality d=F+1F+1gd = \frac{F+1}{F+1-g}
