Hello! In the manual ( www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/combinat/sage/combinat/sf/monomial.html) there is a nice example of enumerating and expanding symmetric functions in terms of x's.
Is there a way to write the monomial symmetric functions in terms of the elementary symmetric polynomials, *without* the expansion? i.e., I want m(4,2,1) in terms of e1=x1+x2+x3, e2=x1*x2+x1*x3+x2*x3, etc. not in terms of the xi themselves. So m(4,2,1)=e3*(e1^2*e2 - 2*e2^2 - e1*e3). regards john perry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
