Re: A nice diophantine equation.
Hi;
The gf does not look like the right form to use that formula.

Re: A nice diophantine equation.
Hmmmm. Then how do you account for the fact that it does not get a good answer?

Re: A nice diophantine equation.
Well, it is an approximation formula... It does no guarantee a close approximation...

Re: A nice diophantine equation.
Hi;
That is not correct. The limit of that approximation divided by the exact answer
should approach 1 as n approaches infinity.

Re: A nice diophantine equation.
Hi;
I think this gf
is not in the right form. Look at the formula,
it can not deal with 3 different terms in the denominator. That is why it is not working.

Re: A nice diophantine equation.
You can factorise the denominator. You'll have three (1-x) terms. The rest goes into B(x).
And you have copied the required form incorrectly...

Re: A nice diophantine equation.
Yes. But, in either case, A(x) will be the zero polynomial, so they come down to the same thing.
Look at the wiki article to see the correct form.

Re: A nice diophantine equation.
I can not split that generating function into what you want. Can you show what you did?
The form I have is correct.

Re: A nice diophantine equation.
Hi;
Yes, you are right! I see that. Very good. But I still think I have you on the gf.
I say that you will be unable to split it as you say.

When you put that into B(x) you will not get the original gf back.

Re: A nice diophantine equation.
See what you put into B(x) it does not equal the original generating function. What is in the denominator of your B(x) does not get to the the denominator of the asymptotic form.

Re: A nice diophantine equation.
Hi bobbym
You didn't substitute the rest of the parameters. α=0, β=3, A(x)=0, r=1.

Re: A nice diophantine equation.
Hi;
But something is wrong. If you are right you should have got a better answer than you did. I do not understand what is going wrong. I am rechecking everything please hold.
