%N Triangle T, read by rows, equal to the matrix product T = H*[C^-1]*H, where H is the self-inverse triangle A118433 and C is Pascal's triangle.

%C The matrix inverse of H*[C^-1]*H is H*C*H = A118438, where H^2 = I (identity). The matrix log, log(T) = A118441, is a matrix square root of a triangular matrix with a single diagonal (two rows down from the main diagonal).

%F Since T + T^-1 = C + C^-1, then [T^-1](n,k) = (1+(-1)^(n-k))*C(n,k) - T(n,k) is a formula for the matrix inverse T^-1 = A118438.
