FUNCTION: partitions[POE] - OE(n) CALLING SEQUENCE: POE(n) PARAMETERS: n - positive integer SYNOPSIS: POE(n) computes OE(n) (hard way). This is the number of partitions of n in which every even part is below each odd part. EXAMPLES: > with(qseries): > with(partitions): > POE(12); 30 > GENFUNC:=1+add(POE(n)*q^n,n=1..10); GENFUNC := 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 19 q + 12 q + 12 q + 7 q + 7 q + 4 q + 4 q + 2 q + 2 q + q + 1 > prodmake(GENFUNC,q,10); 1 ----------------------------------------------- 2 4 6 8 (1 - q) (-q + 1) (-q + 1) (-q + 1) (-q + 1) DISCUSSION: OE(12) = 30 and the generating function seems like a nice product SEE ALSO: ptnOE
