    Let \(A(n,m)\) be the number of solutions of \(\sum_{k=-n}^n \varepsilon_kk=m\), where each \(\varepsilon_k\in \{0,1\}\). The author extends results of previous authors to show that for \(m= o(n^{3/2})\) \[ A(n,m)\sim \biggl( \frac{3}{\pi} \biggr)^{1/2} 2^{2n+1} n^{-3/2} \quad\text{as}\quad n\to \infty. \]
