A087108 This table shows the coefficients of combinatorial formulas needed for generating the sequential sums of p-th powers of binomial coefficients C(n,4). The p-th row (p>=1) contains a(i,p) for i=1 to 4*p-3, where a(i,p) satisfies Sum_{i=1..n} C(i+3,4)^p = 5 * C(n+4,5) * Sum_{i=1..4*p-3} a(i,p) * C(n-1,i-1)/(i+4). 10

From Peter Bala, Mar 11 2018: (Start)
The table entries T(n,k) are the coefficients when expressing the polynomial C(x+4,4)^p of degree 4*p in terms of falling factorials: C(x+4,4)^p = Sum_{k = 0..4*p} T(p,k)*C(x,k). It follows that Sum_{i = 0..n-1} C(i+4,4)^p = Sum_{k = 0..4*p} T(p,k)*C(n,k+1). (End)

FORMULA
a(i, p) = Sum_{k=1..[2*i+1+(-1)^(i-1)]/4} [ C(i-1, 2*k-2)*C(i-2*k+5, i-2*k+1)^(p-1) -C(i-1, 2*k-1)*C(i-2*k+4, i-2*k)^(p-1) ]
From Peter Bala, Mar 11 2018: (Start)
The following remarks assume the row and column indices start at 0.
T(n,k) = Sum_{i = 0..k} (-1)^(k-i)*binomial(k,i) * binomial(i+4,4)^n. Equivalently, let v_n denote the sequence (1, 5^n, 15^n, 35^n, ...) regarded as an infinite column vector, where 1, 5, 15, 35, ... is the sequence binomial(n+4,4) - see A000332. Then the n-th row of this table is determined by the matrix product P^(-1)*v_n, where P denotes Pascal's triangle A007318.
Recurrence: T(n+1,k) = C(k+4,4)*T(n,k) + 4*C(k+3,4)*T(n,k-1) + 6*C(k+2,4)*T(n,k-2) + 4*C(k+1,4)*T(n,k-3) + C(k,4)*T(n,k-4) with boundary conditions T(n,0) = 1 for all n and T(n,k) = 0 for k > 4*n.
n-th row polynomial R(n,x) = (1 + x)^4 o (1 + x)^4 o ... o (1 + x)^4 (n factors), where o denotes the black diamond product of power series defined in Dukes and White.
R(n,x) = Sum_{i >= 0} binomial(i+4,4)^n*x^i/(1 + x)^(i+1).
R(n+1,x) = 1/4! * (1 + x)^4 * (d/dx)^4(x^4*R(n,x)).
(1 - x)^(4*n)*R(n,x/(1 - x)) appears to equal the n-th row polynomial of A236463. (End)
EXAMPLE
Row 3 contains 1,24,176,...,70, so Sum_{i=1..n} C(i+3,4)^3 = 5 * C(n+4,5) * [ a(1,3)/5 + a(2,3)*C(n-1,1)/6 + a(3,3)*C(n-1,2)/7 + ... + a(9,3)*C(n-1,8)/13 ] = 5 * C(n+4,5) * [ 1/5 + 24*C(n-1,1)/6 + 176*C(n-1,2)/7 + ... + 70*C(n-1,8)/13 ]. Cf. A086024 for more details.
