Pascal like matrices - an accessible factory of one source identities and resulting applications

The Eigenvectors of the Right-Justified Pascal Triangle: A Shorter Proof with Generating Functions

Instead of dealing with cumbersome binomial identities, we prove Callan's result using generating functions.

Jordan and Smith forms of Pascal-related matrices

We present matrix identities which yield respectively the Jordan canonical form of the Pascal matrix P_n = (i -1 choose j -1)_{1 <= i,j <= n} modulo a prime, the eigenvectors of (i choose j)_{1 <= i,j <= n}, and the Smith normal form of powers of P_n - I_n.

Asymmetric extension of Pascal-Dellanoy triangles

We give a generalization of the Pascal triangle called the quasi s-Pascal triangle where the sum of the elements crossing the diagonal rays produce the s-bonacci sequence. For this, consider a lattice path in the plane whose step set is {L = (1, 0), L1 = (1, 1), L2 = (2, 1), . . . , Ls = (s, 1)}; an explicit formula is given. Thereby linking the elements of the quasi s-Pascal triangle with the bisnomial coefficients. We establish the recurrence relation for the sum of elements lying over any finite ray of the quasi s-Pascal triangle. The generating function of the cited sums is produced. We al…

Graphene nanocones and Pascal matrices

I conjecture three identities for the determinant of adjacency matrices of graphene triangles and trapezia with Bloch (and more general) boundary conditions. For triangles, the parametric determinant is equal to the characteristic polynomial of the symmetric Pascal matrix. For trapezia it is equal to the determinant of a sub-matrix. Finally, the determinant of the tight binding matrix equals its permanent. The conjectures are supported by analytic evaluations and Mathematica, for moderate sizes. They establish connections with counting problems of partitions, lozenge tilings of hexagons, dense…
