More generally, if a lower triangular matrix T to the power p is given by: [T^p](n,k) = C(r,n-k)*p^(n-k)*q^(n*(n-1)/2-k*(k-1)/2) then, for all m, [T^m](n,k) = [prod_{j=0..n-k-1}(m*r-p*j)]/(n-k)!*q^(n*(n-1)/2-k*(k-1)/2) for n>k>=0, with T(n,n) = 1. This triangle results when m=1, p=5, q=5, r=1.
FORMULA
T(n,k) = A117257(n-k)*5^((n-k)*k). T(n,k) = (-1)^(n-k)*5^(n*(n-1)/2-k*(k-1)/2)/(n-k)!*prod_{j=0..n-k-1}(5*j-1) for n>k>=0, with T(n,n) = 1.
