Step 1
A composition is a sequence of positive integers that sum to a given integer. In this case, the compositions consist of parts in {3, 6}, and if the composition is non-empty, the first part is 6. So, we can write the set description for A as: A = { (6, a_2, a_3, Show more…

Find the generating function for the number of ways to partition n into summands where each summand must appear an even number of times and each summand must be even. Interpret what you discover from (a) and (b). Can you derive the same result without using generating functions?
