Let Q be a nonconstant polynomial with integer coefficients and without zeros at the non–negative integers. Essentially with the method of Hermite, a new proof is given on linear independence of values at rational points of the function G ( x ) = n = 0 x n Q ( 1 ) Q ( 2 ) Q ( n ) .

Introduction. The problem of determining the formula for P S ( n ) , the number of partitions of an integer into elements of a finite set S, that is, the number of solutions in non-negative integers, h s , . . . , h s k , of the equation hs₁ s₁ + ... + hsk sk = n, was solved in the nineteenth century (see Sylvester [4] and Glaisher [3] for detailed accounts). The solution is the coefficient of x i n [(1-xs₁)... (1-xsk)]-1, expressions for which they derived. Wright [5] indicated a simpler method by which to find part...
