Finding the coefficient in the expansion of $\prod\limits_{m=1}^N \left(1-R^mA\right)$

62 Views Asked by At

I understand that $$\prod\limits_{m=1}^N \left(1-R^mA\right)$$ is a polynomial in $A$, and so can be written as $\sum\limits_{k=0}^N c_k A^k$ for some coefficients $c_k$.

I can't seem to figure out a closed form expression of $c_k$, any ideas?
