This article is devoted to the number of non-negative solutions of the linear Diophantine equation a1t1+a2t2+... antn=d, where a1, ..., an, and d are positive integers. We obtain a relation between the number of solutions of this equation and characters of the symmetric group, using \em relative symmetric polynomials. As an application, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the space of the relative symmetric polynomials to be non-zero.
