Jul 28, 2010 at 1:18 comment added Fredrik Johansson Thanks, this is the terminology I'm looking for. So I guess the question is: is there a better way than the naive one to evaluate this polynomial (the naive method being to generate the expanded polynomial and evaluate it term by term)?

Jul 28, 2010 at 0:13 comment added Qiaochu Yuan For a particular n the relevant polynomial is essentially the cycle index polynomial of S_n: qchu.wordpress.com/2009/06/24/… . So knowing how to do this computation for arbitrary f is essentially equivalent to knowing the cycle index polynomial, which encodes a lot of information.
