A191898 Symmetric square array read by antidiagonals: T(n,1)=1, T(1,k)=1, T(n,k) = -Sum_{i=1..k-1} T(n-i,k) for n >= k, -Sum_{i=1..n-1} T(k-i,n) for n < k. 38

%C Rows equal columns and are periodic. No zero elements are found (conjecture). The recurrence is related to the recurrence for the Mahonian numbers. The main diagonal is the Dirichlet inverse of the Euler totient function A023900 (conjecture). [The 2nd and 3rd formulas state that the conjecture is correct. _R. J. Mathar_, Sep 16 2017]

%C The sums from n=1 to infinity of T(n,k)/n converge to the Mangoldt function for column k (conjecture).

%C If gcd(n,k)=1 then T(n,k)=1 and if T(n,k)=1 then gcd(n,k)=1 (conjecture).

%C The Dirichlet generating functions for s > 1 for the columns appear to be (see A054535):

%C Zeta(s)*(1 + (Sum over all possible combinations of products of negative distinct prime factors of k, up to rearrangement, 1/((-1* first distinct prime factor)*(-1*second distinct prime factor)*(-1*third distinct prime factor * ...))^(s-1))).

%C Examples:

%C k=1: Zeta(s)

%C k=2: Zeta(s)*(1 - 1/2^(s-1))

%C k=3: Zeta(s)*(1 - 1/3^(s-1))

%C k=4: Zeta(s)*(1 - 1/2^(s-1))

%C k=5: Zeta(s)*(1 - 1/5^(s-1))

%C k=6: Zeta(s)*(1 - 1/2^(s-1) - 1/3^(s-1) + 1/6^(s-1))

%C k=7: Zeta(s)*(1 - 1/7^(s-1))

%C ...

%C k=30: Zeta(s)*(1 - 1/2^(s-1) - 1/3^(s-1) - 1/5^(s-1) + 1/6^(s-1) + 1/10^(s-1) + 1/15^(s-1) - 1/30^(s-1))

%C (conjecture)

%C See triangle A142971 for negative distinct prime factors.

%C This could probably be checked by matrix multiplication.

%C The signs of the eigenvalues of this matrix are a rearrangement of the Mobius function A008683 (conjecture). The first few eigenvalues are:

%C {1.0000}

%C {-1.4142, 1.4142}

%C {-2.6554, 1.8662, -1.2108}

%C {-3.4393, 2.1004, -1.6611, 0}

%C {-4.7711, -3.3867, 2.5910, -1.4332, 0}

%C {-5.2439, -3.4641, 3.4641, 2.5169, -2.2730, 0}

%C The relation to Dirichlet characters for the entries in this matrix appears appears to be formulated in terms of the sequence A089026 which is equal to n if n is a prime, otherwise equal to 1. See Mathematica program below. [_Mats Granvik_, Nov 23 2013]

%C From _Mats Granvik_, Jun 19 2016: (Start)

%C Remark about the Dirichlet generating function for the whole matrix: Subtracting the first column (in the form of zeta(c)) of the matrix gives us the limit: lim_{c->1} zeta(s)*zeta(c)/zeta(c+s-1)-zeta(c) = -zeta'(s)/zeta(s) which is the classical Dirichlet generating function for the von Mangoldt function.

%C For n >= k, see A231425, this matrix has row sums equal to zero except for the first row:

%C 1=1

%C 1-1=0

%C 1+1-2=0

%C 1-1+1-1=0

%C 1+1+1+1-4=0

%C ...

%C log(A014963(n)) = Sum_{k>=1} A191898(n,k)/k, for n>1.

%C log(A014963(k)) = Sum_{n>=1} A191898(n,k)/n, for k>1.

%C log(A014963(n)) = limit of zeta(s)*(Sum_{d divides n} A008683(d)/d^(s-1)) as s->1, for n>1.

%C A008683(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} A191898(n,k)*exp(-i*2*Pi*k/n)/n.

%C A008683(n) = Sum_{n=1..k} A191898(n,k)*exp(-i*2*Pi*n/k)/k.

%C (End)

%C From _Mats Granvik_, Aug 09 2016: (Start)

%C The Dirichlet generating function for the matrix is zero for any pair c and s = 2 - c and any pair s and c = 2 - s except at the pole c = 1 and s = 1 where it is indeterminate.

%C In the Mathematica program section, in the expression for the matrix as Dirichlets characters, the variables s and c can apparently be any pair of positive integers.

%C Limits related to the Dirichlet generating function for the matrix: Let s = ZetaZero(n), then lim_{c->1} zeta(s*c)/zeta(c+s-1) = ZetaZero(n). Let s = ZetaZero(n), then lim_{c->1} zeta(s*c)/zeta(c+s*c-1) = ZetaZero(n)/(1+ZetaZero(n)).

%F Dirichlet generating function for sequence in the n-th row: zeta(s)*Sum_{ d divides n } mu(d)/d^(s-1). - _Mats Granvik_, Jun 18 2012 & Jun 19 2016

%F From _Mats Granvik_, Jun 19 2016: (Start)

%F Dirichlet generating function for the whole matrix: Sum_{k>=1} (Sum_{n>=1} T(n,k)/(n^c*k^s)) = Sum_{n>=1} (zeta(s)*Sum_{ d divides n } mu(d)/d^(s-1))/n^c = zeta(s)*zeta(c)/zeta( c + s - 1 ).

%F T(n,k) = A127093(n,k)^(1/2-i*a(k))*transpose(A008683(k)*(A127093(n,k)^(1/2+i*a(n)))) where a(x) is some real number. An example would be T(n,k) = A127093(n,k)^(zetazero(k))*transpose(A008683(k)*(A127093(n,k)^(zetazero(-k)))) but this is of course not special for only the zeta zeros.

%F Recurrence for a subset of A191898 that is a cross-directional variant of the recurrence in A051731: T(1,1)=1, T(1,2..k)=0, T(2..n,1)=0, n >= k: -Sum_{i=1..k-1} T(n-i,k) - T(n-i,k-1), n < k: -Sum_{i=1..n-1} T(k-i,n) - T(k-i,n-1). Notice that the identity matrix in linear algebra satisfies a similar recurrence:

%F T(1,1)=1, T(1,2..k)=0, T(2..n,1)=0, n >= k: -Sum_{i=1..n-1} T(n-i,k) - T(n-i,k-1), n < k: -Sum_{i=1..k-1} T(k-i,n) - T(k-i,n-1).

%F (End)

%F T(n,k) = sqrt(A143256(n,k))*transpose(sqrt(A143256(n,k))). - _Mats Granvik_, Aug 10 2018

%F Dirichlet generating function for absolute values: Sum_{k>=1} (Sum_{n>=1} abs(T(n,k))/(n^c*k^s)) = zeta(s)*zeta(c)*zeta(s + c - 1)/zeta(2*(s + c - 1))*Product_{k>=1} (1 - 2/(prime(k) + prime(k)^(s + c))). After Vaclav Kotesovec in A173557. - _Mats Granvik_, Apr 25 2021
