Généralisation de Formules de Type Waring

Abstract. We evaluate the symmetric functions ek, hk and pk on the alphabet {xr/(1-txr)} by elementary methods and give the related generating functions. Our formulas lead to a new and short proof of an ex-conjecture of Lassalle [J. Combin. Theory, Series A 89 (2000), 270-288], which was proved by Lascoux and Lassalle [Math. Annalen, to appear] in the framework of \lambda-rings theory.
