Re: Generating Functions

I have no idea.

Re: Generating Functions

Hm? I just expanded the GF.

Re: Generating Functions

And the method to get the prime coefficients?

Re: Generating Functions

gf[x_] := Expand[Sum[x^i/6, {i, 1, 6}]^1000]
CoefficientList[gf[x], x][[
  Table[1 + Prime[i], {i, 169, 783}]]] // Total

That's my code for the problem.

Re: Generating Functions

Subtract that from 1.

Re: Generating Functions

gf[x_] := Expand[Sum[x^i/6, {i, 1, 6}]^1000]
1 - CoefficientList[gf[x], x][[
   Table[1 + Prime[i], {i, 169, 783}]]] // Total

You are running that?

Re: Generating Functions

Okay, that much I got. is there any other way other than just brute force expanding, eg., an asymptotic form or something?

Re: Generating Functions

They are all computationally intensive but an asymptotic form is possible. Also, there is my paper on this problem except much, much larger.
