Description

This is an investigation of the problem of the asymptotic distribution of the Frobenius numbers of n relatively prime integers. For n=3 virtually definitive results are obtained. For n>3 it is shown that the distributions appearing form a compact set. An essential role is played by the limit theorem for logarithms of denominators of continued fractions of random numbers.
