A107876 Triangular matrix T, read by rows, that satisfies: [T^k](n,k) = T(n,k-1) for n>=k>0, or, equivalently, (column k of T^k) = SHIFT_LEFT(column k-1 of T) when zeros above the diagonal are ignored. 22

COMMENTS

Remarkably, T equals the product of these triangular matrices: T = A107862^-1*A107867 = A107867^-1*A107870 = A107870^-1*A107873. T also satisfies: [T^-1](n,k) = -[T^k](n,k+1) for n>k>=0.

Column m of T^k is the number of subpartitions of the initial terms of the sequence (k-1)+n(m-1)+n(n-1)/2 (ignoring 0's above the diagonal). E.g. column 4 of T^3 is 1,3,15,106,975,.... The sequence above is 2,5,9,14,20,.... subp([]) = 1, subp([2]) = 3, subp([2,5]) = 15, subp([2,5,9]) = 106, etc. The matrix product of T^(k-1) * T computes the number of such subpartitions by looking at the first part index where the subpartition is maxed - for [2,5,9,14,20] the third term (9 maxed) has subp([1,4]) for the first two values (not maxed), times subp([5,11]) for the last two values (possibly maxed). - Frank Adams-Watters (FrankTAW(AT)Netscape.net), Jun 26 2006

FORMULA

G.f. for column k: 1 = Sum_{j>=0} T(k+j, k)*x^j*(1-x)^(1+(k+j)*(k+j-1)/2-k*(k-1)/2). G.f. for column k of T^m: 1 = Sum_{j>=0} [T^m](k+j, k)*x^j*(1-x)^(m+(k+j)*(k+j-1)/2-k*(k-1)/2) where [T^m] is the m-th matrix power of T, for all m and k>=0. G.f. for column k of T^m: 1 = Sum_{j>=0} [T^m](k+j, k)*x^j/C(x)^(m-j+(k+j)*(k+j-1)/2-k*(k-1)/2) where C(x)=2/(1+sqrt(1-4*x)) is g.f. for A000108 (Catalan numbers).

EXAMPLE

G.f. for column 1:

1 = T(1,1)*(1-x)^1 + T(2,1)*x*(1-x)^2 + T(3,1)*x^2*(1-x)^4 + T(4,1)*x^3*(1-x)^7 + T(5,1)*x^4*(1-x)^11 + T(6,1)*x^5*(1-x)^16 +...

= 1*(1-x)^1 + 1*x*(1-x)^2 + 2*x^2*(1-x)^4 + 7*x^3*(1-x)^7 + 37*x^4*(1-x)^11 + 268*x^5*(1-x)^16 +...

G.f. for column 2:

1 = T(2,2)*(1-x)^1 + T(3,2)*x*(1-x)^3 + T(4,2)*x^2*(1-x)^6 + T(5,2)*x^3*(1-x)^10 + T(6,2)*x^4*(1-x)^15 + T(7,2)*x^5*(1-x)^21 +...

= 1*(1-x)^1 + 1*x*(1-x)^3 + 3*x^2*(1-x)^6 + 15*x^3*(1-x)^10 + 106*x^4*(1-x)^15 + 975*x^5*(1-x)^21 +...
