Talk:Macaulay representation of an integer

Request
, can you take a look at this page and provide more context about this subject? I don't understand the context and think it might be eligible for speedy deletion. If there's a mainspace page (or section) that might be worth redirecting/merging, please feel free to take action as I've alerady tried keyword searches in mainspace, and haven't found a good target to point to.

 * I can agree to move it or delete it (there is no good redirect target). But can you give me a week? I'm attending a workshop right now and "right now" is not the best time to complete the draft (e.g., finding a ref). -- Taku (talk) 14:30, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I'll hold off 1 week, then I'm going to suggest a CSD. Hasteur (talk) 14:42, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Also would this method of raising the concern on the talk page work best for you in terms of trying to figure out a good way to address these drafts? Obviously ones that are well fleshed out (like K-theory of a category) are plenty ready for mainspace (so can be promoted there). Hasteur (talk) 14:50, 22 August 2017 (UTC)


 * For the record, I still don't agree with the need to get rid of old drafts in the draftspace; and there is no community consensus. When I find time, I will start an RfC to settle this matter once and for all. (I'm too busy for that right now.) If you find a page that is problematic, which is mine or not, you should raise a concern in the talkpage. I now realized that a short draft without enough context can cause review problems so I agreed to do something about it; that's all. Not because it is old. -- Taku (talk) 08:05, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

Examples
Would be interesting to see cases d=2 and d=3 for first ~20 integers, and see their coefficients, similar to what most other pages about numbering systems do. 81.6.34.246 (talk) 08:43, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Examples might also clear up some questions I've got from the definition, though better wording could also help. Are the $$c_i$$ uniquely determined given that they must be strictly increasing, or uniquely determined and also a property of them is that they are strictly increasing? (The fact that replacing $$c_i$$ by $$i-c_i$$ wouldn't change the sum makes me think the former, but I think the grammar of the sentence implies the latter.) Also, does every $$n\in \mathbb{Z}^+$$ have a $$d$$-th Macaulay representation for every $$d\in \mathbb{Z}^+$$? (Surely not, as there's only finitely many $$(c_1,\dots,c_d)\in (\mathbb{Z}^+)^d$$ with $$c_1<1,c_2<2\dots,c_d<d$$, so what's the largest value $$N$$ represented and are there representations for all $$n\in \{1,\dots,N\}$$?) These are not exactly questions I want answered for myself (I'm sure I could make progress on them with a bit of thought), but questions that the article might address if there are sources that comment on these properties. — Bilorv ( talk ) 21:27, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
