Extract

We denote by tm(n) the number of partitions of the positive integer n into non-decreasing parts which are positive or zero powers of a fixed integer m > 1 and we call tm(n) ‘the m-ary partition function’. Mahler(1) obtained an asymptotic formula for tm(n), the first term of which is

Mahler's result was later improved by de Bruijn (2).
