Abstract
Abstract In 1939, H. S. Zuckerman provided a Hardy-Ramanujan-Rademacher-type convergent series that can be used to compute an isolated value of the overpartition function p (n). Computing p (n) by this method requires arithmetic with very high-precision approximate real numbers and it is complicated. In this paper, we provide a formula to compute the values of p (n) that requires only the values of p (k) with k ≤ n/2. This formula is combined with a known linear homogeneous recurrence relation for the overpartition function p (n) to obtain a simple and fast computation of the value of p (n). This new method uses only (large) integer arithmetic and it is simpler to program.
