The n-th row of this triangle is the cycle of the (n-th)-to-last digit of powers of 2.
The period of the last n digits of powers of 2 where the exponent is greater than or equal to n is A005054(n). As a result, this triangle can be used to get the (n-th)-to-last digit of a large power of 2; if p == k + A123384(n-1) (mod A005054(n)), then the (n-th)-to-last digit (base 10) of 2^p is T(n,k). For example, for n = 1, if p == 1 (mod 4), then 2^p == 2 (mod 10) and if p == 3 (mod 4), then 2^p == 8 (mod 10). For n = 2, if p == 4 (mod 20), then the second-to-last digit of 2^p (base 10) is 1 and if p == 7 (mod 20), then the second-to-last digit of 2^p (base 10) is 2.

Empirical observation: Where n is an odd multiple of 3, let x = (a(n) + 1)/9 and let y be the decimal expansion of x/a(n); then y*(x+1)/x + 1 = y rotated to the left.
Example:
a(3) = 125;
x = (125 + 1)/9 = 14;
y = 112, which is the decimal expansion of 14/125 = 0.112;
112*(14 + 1)/14 + 1 = 121 = 112 rotated to the left.

Consider all Pythagorean triples (X,X+1,Z) ordered by increasing Z; sequence gives Z values.
The defining equation is X^2 + (X+1)^2 = Z^2, which when doubled gives 2Z^2 = (2X+1)^2 + 1. So the sequence gives Z's such that 2Z^2 = odd square + 1 (A069894).

(a(n+1), 2*b(n+1)) and (a(n+2), 2*b(n+1)), n >= 0, with b(n):= A001109(n), give the (u(2*n), v(2*n)) and (u(2*n+1), v(2*n+1)) sequences, respectively, for Pythagorean triples (x,y,z), where x=|u^2-v^2|, y=2*u*v and z=u^2+v^2, with u odd and v even, which are generated from (u(0)=1, v(0)=2) by the substitution rule (u,v) -> (2*v+u,v) if u < v and (u,v) -> (u,2*u+v) if u > v.

(a(n), a(n+1)), with a(0):= 1, give all proper positive solutions m1 = m1(n) and m2 = m2(n), with m1 < m2 and n >= 0, of the Markoff triple (m, m1, m2) (see A002559) for m = 2, i.e., m1^2 - 6*m1*m2 + m2^2 = -4. Hence the unique Markoff triple with largest value m = 2 is (1, 1, 2) (for general m from A002559 this is the famous uniqueness conjecture).
For X = m2 - m1 and Y = m2 this becomes the reduced indefinite quadratic form representation X^2 + 4*X*Y - 4*Y^2 = -4, with discriminant 32, and the only proper fundamental solution (X(0), Y(0)) = (0, 1). For all nonnegative proper (X(n), Y(n)) solutions see (A005319(n) = a(n+1) - a(n), a(n+1)), for n >= 0. (End)
Each Pell(2*k+1) = a(k+1) number with k >= 3 appears as largest number of an ordered Markoff (Markov) triple [x, y, m] with smallest value x = 2 as [2, Pell(2*k-1), Pell(2*k+1)]. This known result follows also from all positive proper solutions of the Pell equation q^2 - 2*m^2 = -1 which are q = q(k) = A002315(k) and m = m(k) = Pell(2*k+1), for k >= 0. y = y(k) = m(k) - 2*q(k) = Pell(2*k-1), with Pell(-1) = 1. The k = 0 and 1 cases do not satisfy x=2 <= y(k) <= m(k). The numbers 1 and 5 appear also as largest Markoff triple members because they are also Fibonacci numbers, and for these triples x=1. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 11 2018

Indeed, for x=y=2 we get 2^n a(n;1) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) a(k;2) and, by A000045: Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) 2^k a(k;1) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) F(k+1) 2^k = 3^n a(n;2/3) = F(3n+1). - Roman Witula, Jul 12 2012

Finite difference operator (pair difference): left multiplication by T of a sequence arranged as a column vector gives a running forward difference, a(k+1)-a(k), or first finite difference (modulo sign), of the elements of the sequence. T^n gives the n-th finite difference (mod sign). T is the inverse of the summation matrix A000012 (regarded as lower triangular matrices). - Tom Copeland, Mar 26 2014

T(n,k) = Sum_j>=0 T(n-1-j,k-1)*2^j.
T = A007318*A059260, so the row polynomials of this entry are given umbrally by p_n(x) = (1 + q.(x))^n, where q_n(x) are the row polynomials of A059260 and (q.(x))^k = q_k(x). Consequently, the e.g.f. is exp[tp.(x)] = exp[t(1+q.(x))] = e^t exp(tq.(x)) = [1 + (x+1)e^((x+2)t)]/(x+2), and p_n(x) = (x+1)(x+2)^(n-1) for n > 0. - Tom Copeland, Nov 15 2016

Consider the final n decimal digits of 2^j for all values of j. They are periodic. Sequence gives maximal value seen in these n digits.
With f(n) = a(n+1) - a(n), the difference f(n) - a(n) is always 8*10^n meaning that a(n) becomes its own "first differences" sequence when each term is prefixed a digit '8'. For higher order differences, the prefix 8 becomes: 8*10^n*Sum_{k=0..m-1} 9^k where m is the order. - R. J. Cano, May 11 2014

Examples

			Maximum of the last 4 digits of powers of 2 is 9984=10000-16. It occurs at 2^254. 2^254 = 289480223.....01978282409984 (with 77 digits, last 4 ones are ...9984). The period length of the last-4-digit segment is A005054(4)=500. For n=4 period: amplitude=9984, phase=254.
