This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A121412 Triangular matrix T, read by rows, where row n of T equals row (n-1) of T^(n+1) with an appended '1'.

Related to the number of subpartitions of a partition as defined in A115728; for examples involving column k of successive matrix powers, see A121430, A121431, A121432 and A121433. Essentially the same as triangle A101479, but this form best illustrates the nice properties of this triangle.

Examples

			Triangle T begins:
1;
1, 1;
3, 1, 1;
18, 4, 1, 1;
170, 30, 5, 1, 1;
2220, 335, 45, 6, 1, 1;
37149, 4984, 581, 63, 7, 1, 1;
758814, 92652, 9730, 924, 84, 8, 1, 1;
18301950, 2065146, 199692, 17226, 1380, 108, 9, 1, 1;
508907970, 53636520, 4843125, 387567, 28365, 1965, 135, 10, 1, 1;
To get row 4 of T, append '1' to row 3 of matrix power T^5:
1;
5, 1;
25, 5, 1;
170, 30, 5, 1; ...
To get row 5 of T, append '1' to row 4 of matrix power T^6:
1;
6, 1;
33, 6, 1;
233, 39, 6, 1;
2220, 335, 45, 6, 1; ...
Likewise, get row n of T by appending '1' to row (n-1) of T^(n+1).

Programs

  • Mathematica
    T[n_, k_] := Module[{A = {{1}}, B}, Do[B = Array[0&, {m, m}]; Do[Do[B[[i, j]] = If[j == i, 1, MatrixPower[A, i][[i-1, j]]], {j, 1, i}], {i, 1, m}]; A = B, {m, 1, n+1}]; A[[n+1, k+1]]];
    Table[T[n, k], {n, 0, 9}, {k, 0, n}] // Flatten (* Jean-François Alcover, Oct 03 2019 *)
  • PARI
    {T(n, k) = my(A=Mat(1), B); for(m=1, n+1, B=matrix(m, m); for(i=1, m, for(j=1, i, if(j==i, B[i, j]=1, B[i, j]=(A^i)[i-1, j]); )); A=B); return((A^1)[n+1, k+1])}
    for(n=0,12, for(k=0,n, print1( T(n,k),", "));print(""))

Formula

G.f.: Column k of successive powers of T satisfy the amazing relation given by: 1 = Sum_{n>=0} (1-x)^(n+1) * x^(n(n+1)/2 + k*n) * Sum_{j=0..n+k} [T^(j+1)](n+k,k) * x^j.
