A087111 This table shows the coefficients of combinatorial formulas needed for generating the sequential sums of p-th powers of binomial coefficients C(n,7). The p-th row (p>=1) contains a(i,p) for i=1 to 7*p-6, where a(i,p) satisfies Sum_{i=1..n} C(i+6,7)^p = 8 * C(n+7,8) * Sum_{i=1..7*p-6} a(i,p) * C(n-1,i-1)/(i+7). 11

The table entries T(n,k) are the coefficients when expressing the polynomial C(x+7,7)^p of degree 7*p in terms of falling factorials: C(x+7,7)^p = Sum_{k = 0..7*p} T(p,k)*C(x,k). It follows that Sum_{i = 0..n-1} C(i+7,7)^p = Sum_{k = 0..7*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+8, i-2*k+1)^(p-1) -C(i-1, 2*k-1)*C(i-2*k+7, 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+7,7)^n. Equivalently, let v_n denote the sequence (1, 8^n, 36^n, 120^n, ...) regarded as an infinite column vector, where 1, 8, 36, 120, ... is the sequence binomial(n+7,7) - see A000580. 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) = Sum_{i = 0..7} C(7,i)*C(k+7-i,7)*T(n,k-i) with boundary conditions T(n,0) = 1 for all n and T(n,k) = 0 for k > 7*n.
n-th row polynomial R(n,x) = (1 + x)^7 o (1 + x)^7 o ... o (1 + x)^7 (n factors), where o denotes the black diamond product of power series defined in Dukes and White.
R(n+1,x) = 1/7!*(1 + x)^7 * (d/dx)^7(x^7*R(n,x)).
R(n,x) = Sum_{i >= 0} binomial(i+7,7)^n*x^i/(1 + x)^(i+1).
(End)
EXAMPLE
Row 3 contains 1,63,1169,...,3432, so Sum_{i=1..n} C(i+6,7)^3 = 8 * C(n+7,8) * [ a(1,3)/8 + a(2,3)*C(n-1,1)/9 + a(3,3)*C(n-1,2)/10 + ... + a(15,3)*C(n-1,14)/22 ] = 8 * C(n+7,8) * [ 1/8 + 63*C(n-1,1)/9 + 1169*C(n-1,2)/10 + ... + 3432*C(n-1,14)/22 ]. Cf. A086030 for more details.
