Abstract

We consider polynomials of the form hm(y1[ϰ1],,yn[ϰn])\operatorname{h}_m(y_1^{[\varkappa_1]},\ldots,y_n^{[\varkappa_n]}), where hm\operatorname{h}_m is the complete homogeneous polynomial of degree mm and yj[ϰj]y_j^{[\varkappa_j]} denotes yjy_j repeated ϰj\varkappa_j times. Using the decomposition of the generating function into partial fractions we represent such polynomials in the form hm(y1[ϰ1],,yn[ϰn])=j=1nr=1ϰj(r+m1r1)Ay,ϰ,j,ryjm, \operatorname{h}_m(y_1^{[\varkappa_1]},\ldots,y_n^{[\varkappa_n]}) =\sum_{j=1}^n \sum_{r=1}^{\varkappa_j} \binom{r+m-1}{r-1} A_{y,\varkappa,j,r} y_j^m, where Ay,ϰ,j,rA_{y,\varkappa,j,r} are some coefficients that do not depend on mm. We also provide an alternative proof using the inverse of the confluent Vandermonde matrix.
