Spectral Properties of a Binomial Matrix

In this paper we study some further properties of the matrix with entries binom{i-1}{n-j}. We find the generating function for each row and column, and we find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of this matrix. We also find the spectral properties of this matrix modulo 3 and 5.

Matrix Powers of Column-Justified Pascal Triangles and Fibonacci Sequences

If L, respectively R are matrices with entries binom{i-1,j-1}, respectively binom{i-1,n-j}, it is known that L^2 = I (mod 2), respectively R^3 = I (mod 2), where I is the identity matrix of dimension n > 1 (see P10735-May 1999 issue of the American Mathematical Monthly). We generalize it for any prime p, and give a beautiful connection to Fibonacci numbers.
