Abstract
Explicit expressions for restricted partition function and its quasiperiodic components (called {\em Sylvester waves}) for a set of positive integers are derived. The formulas are represented in a form of a finite sum over Bernoulli and Euler polynomials of higher order with periodic coefficients. A novel recursive relation for the Sylvester waves is established. Application to counting algebraically independent homogeneous polynomial invariants of the finite groups is discussed.
