Simple proofs and expressions for the restricted partition function and its polynomial part

Abstract

In this note, we provide a simple derivation of expressions for the restricted partition function and its polynomial part. Our proof relies on elementary algebra on rational functions and a lemma that expresses the polynomial part as an average of the partition function.
