Abstract

Explicit expressions for restricted partition function W(s, dm) and its quasiperiodic components Wj(s, dm) (called Sylvester waves) for a set of positive integers dm = \d1, d2, ..., dm\ are derived. The formulas are represented in a form of a finite sum over Bernoulli and Euler polynomials of higher order with periodic coefficients. A novel recursive relation for the Sylvester waves is established. Application to counting algebraically independent homogeneous polynomial invariants of the finite groups is discussed.
