Abstract

Let r1r\geq 1 be an integer, a=(a1,,ar)\mathbf a=(a_1,\ldots,a_r) a vector of positive integers and let D1D\geq 1 be a common multiple of a1,,ara_1,\ldots,a_r. In a continuation of a previous paper we prove that, if D=1D=1 or DD is a prime number, the restricted partition function pa(n):=p_{\mathbf a}(n): = the number of integer solutions (x1,,xr)(x_1,\dots,x_r) to j=1rajxj=n\sum_{j=1}^r a_jx_j=n with x10,,xr0x_1\geq 0, \ldots, x_r\geq 0 can be computed by solving a system of linear equations with coefficients which are values of Bernoulli polynomials and Bernoulli Barnes numbers.
