A078121 Infinite lower triangular matrix, M, that satisfies [M^2](i,j) = M(i+1,j+1) for all i,j>=0 where [M^n](i,j) denotes the element at row i, column j, of the n-th power of matrix M, with M(0,k)=1 and M(k,k)=1 for all k>=0.

%N A078121 Infinite lower triangular matrix, M, that satisfies [M^2](i,j) = M(i+1,j+1) for all i,j>=0 where [M^n](i,j) denotes the element at row i, column j, of the n-th power of matrix M, with M(0,k)=1 and M(k,k)=1 for all k>=0.
%C A078121 M also satisfies: [M^(2k)](i,j) = [M^k](i+1,j+1) for all i,j,k>=0; thus [M^(2^n)](i,j) = M(i+n,j+n) for all n>=0.

%F A078121 From _Mikhail Kurkov_, Jul 01 2025: (Start)
%F A078121 Conjecture 1: let R(n,x) be the n-th row polynomial, then R(n,x) = x*R(n-1,x) + Sum_{k=1..n-1} M(n-1,k-1)*R(k,x)*(-1)^(n+k+1) = R(n-1,x) + x*Sum_{k=1..n-1} (M(n-1,k) - M(n-2,k))*R(k,x) for n > 1 with R(0,x) = 1, R(1,x) = x + 1.
%F A078121 Conjecture 2: M(n+m,n) ~ 2^(m*(2*n+m-1)/2)/m! as n -> oo. More generally, it also looks like that M(n+m,n) for m > 0 can be represented as (Sum_{j=0..flooor((m-1)/2)} 2^((m-2*j)*(2*(n-j)+m-1)/2)*P(m,j)*(-1)^j)/m! where P(m,j) are some positive integer coefficients. (End)
