A078122 Infinite lower triangular matrix, M, that satisfies [M^3](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. +0

COMMENT

M also satisfies: [M^(3k)](i,j) = [M^k](i+1,j+1) for all i,j,k >=0; thus [M^(3^n)](i,j) = M(i+n,j+n) for all n >= 0.

Conjecture: the sum of the n-th row equals the number of partitions of 3^n into powers of 3 (A078125).

FORMULA

M(1, j)=A078124(j), M(j+1, j)=3^j, M(j+2, j)=A016142(j).

M(n, k) = the coefficient of x^(3^n - 3^(n-k)) in the power series expansion of 1/Product_{j=0..n-k}(1-x^(3^j)) whenever 0<=k<n for all n>0 (conjecture).

EXAMPLE

The cube of the matrix is the same matrix excluding the first row and column:

[1,_0,_0,0]^3=[_1,__0,_0,_0]

[1,_1,_0,0]___[_3,__1,_0,_0]

[1,_3,_1,0]___[12,__9,_1,_0]

[1,12,_9,1]___[93,117,27,_1]

MATHEMATICA

m[i_, j_] := m[i, j]=If[j==0||i==j, 1, m3[i-1, j-1]]; m2[i_, j_] := m2[i, j]=Sum[m[i, k]m[k, j], {k, j, i}]; m3[i_, j_] := m3[i, j]=Sum[m[i, k]m2[k, j], {k, j, i}]; Flatten[Table[m[i, j], {i, 0, 8}, {j, 0, i}]]
