MacMahon's operator: A computational framework

arXiv:2512.15355 · doi:10.1016/j.jsc.2026.102608

Abstract

MacMahon introduced partition analysis in his book ``Combinatory Analysis'' as a computational technique for solving problems related to systems of linear Diophantine equations and inequalities. This paper aims to develop a fundamental computational method for MacMahon's partition analysis. As applications, we present simplified computations for ``Han's formula'', the ``-gon partitions problem'', and the ``two-dimensional problem''. Moreover, we apply our method to solve a challenging problem.
