Recall that one calls denumerant any partition of an integer \(s\) whose parts have been constrained to belong to some fixed set \(d= \{ d_1, \dots, d_n\}\) and that one denotes \(W(s,d)\) their number. Following \textit{J. J. Sylvester} [Am. J. Math. 5, 79--136 (1882; JFM 14.0072.02)], this restricted partition function \(W\) can be split into a sum of so-called wave functions \(W_j(s,d)\). This path is taken by the author to provide an explicit formula for \(W(s,d)\) in terms of the Bernoulli polynomials of higher order. Computations are done using a symbolic notation (a.k.a. umbral calculus) for which a reminder is given in the appendix.
