I want to a product of polynomials which I define in Maple as
f := n->mul((1+x^k),k=1..n);
The obvious choice, mimicking Sage's 'sum' command does not work. I can't do
def f(n):
return mul((1+x^k),k,1,n)
Instead I had to use
def S(n,k):
return mul(1+x^(k+1) for k in range(n))
Maybe my problem is another, so I'll post my whole problem and traceback:
def S(n,k):
s = mul(1+x^(i+1) for i in range(n))
return s.expand().coeff(x^k)
def H(n,k):
return sum(sum( S(2*i+1,b)*S(n-2*i-3,k-(2*i+2)-b),b,0,k-(2*i+2)),i,0,floor((n-5)/4))
H(121,4)
Traceback (most recent call last): return sum(sum( S(2*i+1,b)*S(n-2*i-3,k-(2*i+2)-b),b,0,k-(2*i+2)),i,0,floor((n-5)/4))

All advice is welcome.
