Abstract:

We obtain here a number of results associated with an infinite matrix arising from a family of iterated self-compositions. This matrix exhibits a rich structure, and our results include an intricate property of its rows, a characterization of its entries in terms of their Zeckendorf representations, and a link between its columns and a mathematical object known as the Fibonacci word.
