Frobenius Problem and dead ends in integers
  Let a and b be positive, relatively prime integers. We show that the following are equivalent: (i) d is a dead end in the (symmetric) Cayley graph of Z with respect to a and b, (ii) d is a Frobenius value with respect to a and b (it cannot be written as a non-negative or non-positive integer linear combination of a and b), and d is maximal (in the Cayley graph) with respect to this property. In addition, for given integers a and b, we explicitly describe all such elements in Z. Finally, we show that Z has only finitely many dead ends with respect to any finite symmetric generating set. In the appendix we show that every finitely generated group has a generating set with respect to which dead ends exist.
