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. 24

COMMENTS
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.

FORMULA
M(1,j) = A002577(j) (partitions of 2^j into powers of 2), M(j+1,j) = 2^j, M(j+2,j) = 4^j, M(j+3,j) = A016131(j).
M(n,k) = the coefficient of x^(2^n - 2^(n-k)) in the power series expansion of 1/Product_{j=0..n-k} (1-x^(2^j)) whenever 0<=k<n for all n>0 (conjecture).
EXAMPLE
The square of the matrix is the same matrix excluding the first row and column:
[1, 0, 0, 0, 0]^2 = [ 1, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[1, 1, 0, 0, 0] [ 2, 1, 0, 0, 0]
[1, 2, 1, 0, 0] [ 4, 4, 1, 0, 0]
[1, 4, 4, 1, 0] [10,16, 8, 1, 0]
[1,10,16, 8, 1] [36,84,64,16, 1]
MAPLE
M:= proc(i, j) option remember; `if`(j=0 or i=j, 1,
add(M(i-1, k)*M(k, j-1), k=0..i-1))
end:
seq(seq(M(n, k), k=0..n), n=0..10); # Alois P. Heinz, Feb 27 2015
