Abstract

For a vector a=(a1,,ar)\mathbf a=(a_1,\ldots,a_r) of positive integers we prove formulas for the restricted partition function pa(n):=p_{\mathbf a}(n): = the number of integer solutions (x1,,xr)(x_1,\dots,x_r) to j=1rajxj=n\sum_{j=1}^r a_jx_j=n with x10,,xr0x_1\geq 0, \ldots, x_r\geq 0 and its polynomial part.
