We consider a power series $\sum_{n \geqslant 0} \alpha_n z^n$, with radius of convergence $R \neq 0$ and with $\alpha_0 = 1$, and sum $S$. We assume that $\frac{1}{S}$ is expandable as a power series in a neighbourhood of 0 and we denote by $\sum_{n \geqslant 0} \beta_n z^n$ its expansion.
Calculate $\beta_0$ and, for all $n \in \mathbb{N}^*$, express $\beta_n$ in terms of $\alpha_1, \ldots, \alpha_n, \beta_1, \ldots, \beta_{n-1}$. Deduce that $$\forall n \in \mathbb{N}, \quad |\beta_n| \leqslant (2q)^n.$$

For $( n , N ) \in \mathbf { N } \times \mathbf { N } ^ { * }$, we denote by $P _ { n , N }$ the set of lists $\left( a _ { 1 } , \ldots , a _ { N } \right) \in \mathbf { N } ^ { N }$ such that $\sum _ { k = 1 } ^ { N } k a _ { k } = n$. If this set is finite, we denote by $p _ { n , N }$ its cardinality. We denote by $p _ { n }$ the final value of $\left( p _ { n , N } \right) _ { N \geq 1 }$.
Let $N \in \mathbf { N } ^ { * }$. Give a sequence $\left( a _ { n , N } \right) _ { n \in \mathbf { N } }$ such that
$$\forall z \in D , \frac { 1 } { 1 - z ^ { N } } = \sum _ { n = 0 } ^ { + \infty } a _ { n , N } z ^ { n }$$
