Sylvester-Cayley vector partitions algorithm and the Gaussian polynomials

Combinatorics 2023-08-02 v3 Number Theory

Abstract

We extend an algorithm suggested in 1858 by Sylvester and implemented in 1860 by Cayley for a problem of double partitions and apply it to derivation of explicit expressions for coefficients of the Gaussian polynomials through convolution of restricted partition functions.
