Symmetric functions are symmetric polynomials, in finitely many, or countably infinitely many variables. They arise in the representation theory of symmetric groups and in the polynomial representation theory of general linear groups. Bases of the ring of symmetric functions are indexed by integer partitions. Schur functions, elementary symmetric functions, complete symmetric functions, and power sum symmetric functions are the most commonly used bases.

Constructing the sum of two pairs of symmetric polynomials

I have a question about generating a certain set of symmetric polynomials. I believe that what I'm looking for is known result, but I'm not 100% sure. Suppose that I have two sets of indeterminates …
