Abstract:Let B denote either of two varieties of order n Pascal matrix, i.e., one whose entries are the binomial coefficients. Let BR denote the reflection of B about its main antidiagonal. The matrix B is always invertible modulo n; our main result asserts that B-1BR mod n if and only if n is prime. In the course of motivating this result we encounter and highlight some of the difficulties with the matrix exponential under modular arithmetic. We then use our main result to extend the "Fibonacci diagonal" property of Pascal matrices.
Keywords:Pascal matrix  Fibonacci diagonal  modular arithmetic
