Abstract: We study partitions of complex numbers as sums of non-negative powers of a fixed algebraic number $$. We prove that if $$ is real quadratic, then the number of partitions is always finite if and only if some conjugate of $$ is larger than 1. Further, we show that for $$ satisfying a certain condition, the partition function attains all non-negative integers as values.
