Abstract
In this paper, we study partitions of totally positive integral elements in a real quadratic field . We prove that for a fixed integer , an element with partition exists in almost all . We also obtain an upper bound for the norm of that can be represented as a sum of indecomposables in at most ways, completely characterize the 's represented in exactly ways, and subsequently apply this result to complete the search for fields containing an element with partitions for .
