Comments

In general, define b(k,e,p) = Sum_{i=0..k} (-1)^i*binomial(e*p+1,i)*binomial(k+e-i,e)^p. Then T(n,k) = b(k,5,n).

Using these coefficients we can obtain formulas for binomial(n,e)^p and for Sum_{i=1..n} binomial(e-1+i,e)^p.

In particular:

binomial(n, e)^p = Sum_{k=0..e*(p-1)} b(k,e,p) * binomial(n+k, e*p).

Sum_{i=1..n} binomial(e-1+i, e)^p = Sum_{k=0..e*(p-1)} b(k,e,p) * binomial(n+e+k, e*p+1).

T(n,k) is the number of permutations of 5 indistinguishable copies of 1..n with exactly k descents. A descent is a pair of adjacent elements with the second element less than the first. - Andrew Howroyd, May 08 2020

Formula

Sum_{i=1..n} binomial(4+i,5)^p = Sum{k=0..5*(p-1)} T(p,k) * binomial(n+5+k, 5*p+1).

binomial(n,5)^p = Sum_{k=0..5*(p-1)} T(p,k) * binomial(n+k, 5*p).

Example

T(n,0) = 1;
T(n,1) = 6^n - (5*n+1);
T(n,2) = 21^n - (5*n+1)*6^n + C(5*n+1,2);
T(n,3) = 56^n - (5*n+1)*21^n + C(5*n+1,2)*6^n - C(5*n+1,3) ;
T(n,4) = 126^n - (5*n+1)*56^n + C(5*n+1,2)*21^n - C(5*n+1,3)*6^n  + C(5*n+1,4).
