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. 24

COMMENTS
Remarkably, T equals the product of these triangular matrices: T = A107862^-1*A107867 = A107867^-1*A107870 = A107870^-1*A107873; reversing the order of these products yields triangle A101479.
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). - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Jun 26 2006
T(n,k) is the number of Dyck paths whose sequence of ascent lengths is exactly k,k+1,...,n, for example the T(4,3) = 3 paths are UUUdUUUUd^6, UUUddUUUUd^5 and UUUdddUUUUd^4. - David Scambler, May 30 2012

FORMULA
G.f. for column k of T^m, the m-th matrix power of this triangle T:
(1) 1 = Sum_{j>=0} T(k+j, k) * x^j * (1-x)^(1+(k+j)*(k+j-1)/2-k*(k-1)/2) for m=1.
(2) 1 = Sum_{j>=0} [T^m](k+j, k)*x^j*(1-x)^(m+(k+j)*(k+j-1)/2-k*(k-1)/2) for all m and k>=0.
(3) 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).
Matrix inverse of this triangle T satisfies:
(4) [T^-1](n,k) = -[T^k](n,k+1) for n>k>=0.
