Abstract
Let N denote the set of positive integers and put \({\text{[1,}}{\rm N}{\text{] = \{ 1,}}...{\text{,}}{\rm N}{\text{\} }}\). We use |S| to denote the cardinality of the finite set S. If S is a given set and \(\mathcal A_1,...,\mathcal A_k\) are subsets of S with
then \(\{\mathcal A_1,...,\mathcal A_k\}\) will be called a k-partition (or k-colouring) of S, and the subsets \(\mathcal A_1,...,\mathcal A_k\) will be referred to as classes. Let \(f:\mathcal N^t\rightarrow \mathcal N\) be a given function. If
with \(a_1,..., a_t\) belonging to the same class, then this will be called a monochromatic representation of n in the form (1)
