hi,
there is a positive integer n and i am trying to device an algorithm that gives me all the possible summation combinations.
For e.g. n=4
1+3=4 2+2=4 1+1+1+1=4 1+2+1=4
The ordering is not important. Hence there are 4 possible summation combinations.
All attempts to make an algorithm gives exponential time solutions. Is there a polynomial time solution to it?
Given n, is there a formula that would count all its existing summations?
Thank you, Sarad.
