This problem cried out for MacMahon s Partition Analysis,... Given that Partition Analysis is an algorithm for producing partition generating functions, I was able to convince Peter Paule and Axel Riese to join an effort to automate this algorithm.

Breuer & Z. Zafeirakopolous [poster: A Linear Diophantine System Solver, Lind Hall 400, 4 pm] Polyhedral Omega is a new algorithm for solving linear Diophantine systems (LDS), i.e., for computing a multivariate rational function representation of the set of all non-negative integer solutions to a system of linear equations and inequalities. Polyhedral Omega combines methods from partition analysis with methods from polyhedral geometry. In particular, we combine MacMahon s iterative approach based on the Omega operator and explicit formulas for its evaluation with geometric tools such as Brion decompositions and Barvinok s short rational function representations. In this way, we connect two recent branches of research that have so far remained separate, unified by the concept of symbolic cones which we introduce.

28 Combinatorics, Modular Forms, and Discrete Geometry / Omega and Mathematical Discovery 18 Congruences for k (n) Theorem [Andrews & P, Partition Analysis XI]. For all n N, 1 (2n + 1) 0 (mod 3).
