Congruence behavior of the matrix R(n,k)R(n,k)

Let R(n,k)R(n,k) be the matrix introduced in the paper, and let R1(n,k)R^{-1}(n,k) denote its inverse matrix. The fifth conjecture. (1) For fixed kk and any prime power pep^e with p1(mod4)p\equiv1\pmod4, the sequence (R(2n+k,k))n0(R(2n+k,k))_{n\ge0} is purely periodic modulo pep^e.

(2) For fixed kk and any prime power pep^e with p3(mod4)p\equiv3\pmod4, the sequence (R(2n+k,k))n0(R(2n+k,k))_{n\ge0} is eventually zero modulo pep^e.

(3) For fixed aa and any power 2e2^e, the sequence (R1(2n+k,k))k0(R^{-1}(2n+k,k))_{k\ge0} is periodic modulo 2e2^e, with period length 2e32^{e-3}.

These are conjectural congruence properties of the matrix; item (3) is described as a strengthening of a theorem specialised to the sequence y(k)=u(k)y(k)=u(k).
