A monomial of weighted degree is with . Therefore
This is a quasipolynomial of period two, not eventually one polynomial: it equals for even and for odd . The usual eventual-polynomial theorem for a graded algebra assumes a standard graded algebra, generated in degree one. Here the generator has degree two, so there is no contradiction.
