Abstract

Explicit expressions for restricted partition function W(s,dm)W(s,{\bf d}^m) and its quasiperiodic components Wj(s,dm)W_j(s,{\bf d}^m) (called {\em Sylvester waves}) for a set of positive integers dm={d1,d2,...,dm}{\bf d}^m = \{d_1, d_2, ..., d_m\} 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.
