A078536 Infinite lower triangular matrix, M, that satisfies [M^4](i,j) = M(i+1,j+1) for all i,j>=0 where [M^n](i,j) denotes the element at row i, column j, of the n-th power of matrix M, with M(0,k)=1 and M(k,k)=1 for all k>=0. 10

COMMENTS

M also satisfies: [M^(4k)](i,j) = [M^k](i+1,j+1) for all i,j,k>=0; thus [M^(4^n)](i,j) = M(i+n,j+n) for all n>=0. Conjecture: sum of the n-th row equals the partitions of 4^n into powers of 4.

FORMULA

M(n, k) = the coefficient of x^(4^n - 4^(n-k)) in the power series expansion of 1/Product_{j=0..n-k}(1-x^(4^j)) whenever 0<=k<n for all n>0 (conjecture).

EXAMPLE

The 4-th power of matrix is the same matrix excluding the first row and column:

[1,__0,__0,_0,0]^4=[____1,____0,___0,__0,0]

[1,__1,__0,_0,0]___[____4,____1,___0,__0,0]

[1,__4,__1,_0,0]___[___28,___16,___1,__0,0]

[1,_28,_16,_1,0]___[__524,__496,__64,__1,0]

[1,524,496,64,1]___[29804,41136,8128,256,1]
