Inverse of the Pascal Matrix
Let $P_n$ be the $(n+1) \times (n+1)$ matrix that contains the numbers of Pascal's triangle in the upper triangle. For example in the case of $n=3$
$$
P_3 =
\begin{pmatrix}
1 & 1 & 1 & 1 \...

matrix representations and polynomials
I just investigated the following matrix and some of its lower powers:
$${\bf M} = \left[\begin{array}{cccc}
1&0&0&0\\
