چکیده

The number Nn of non-crossing trees of size n satis/es Nn+1 = Tn where Tn enumerates ternary trees of size n. We construct a new bijection to establish that fact. Since Tn =(1=(2n+ 1))( 3n n ), it follows that 3(3n− 1)(3n− 2)Tn−1 = 2n(2n+ 1)Tn. We construct two bijections “explaining” this recursion; one of them easily extends to the case of t-ary trees. c © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

2-Binary trees: Bijections and related issues

A 2-binary tree is a binary rooted tree whose root is colored black and the other vertices are either black or white. We present several bijections concerning different types of 2-binary trees as well as other combinatorial structures such as ternary trees, non-crossing trees, Schröder paths, Motzkin paths and Dyck paths. We also obtain a number of enumeration results with respect to certain st...

Bijections for 2-plane trees and ternary trees

According to the Fibonacci number which is studied by Prodinger et al., we introduce the 2-plane tree which is a planted plane tree with each of its vertices colored with one of two colors and qqppppppppppppppppp -free. The similarity of the enumeration between 2-plane trees and ternary trees leads us to build several bijections. Especially, we found a bijection between the set of 2-plane trees...

Dyck paths with coloured ascents

We introduce a notion of Dyck paths with coloured ascents. For several ways of colouring, we establish bijections between sets of such paths and other combinatorial structures, such as non-crossing trees, dissections of a convex polygon, etc. In some cases enumeration gives new expression for sequences enumerating these structures.

Bijections for Cayley trees, spanning trees, and their q-analogues

We construct a family of extremely simple bijections that yield Cayley’s famous formula for counting trees. The weight preserving properties of these bijections furnish a number of multivariate generating functions for weighted Cayley trees. Essentially the same idea is used to derive bijective proofs and q-analogues for the number of spanning trees of other graphs, including the complete bipar...

Multichains, non-crossing partitions and trees

In a previous paper El], we proved results -about the enumer;ation of certain types of chains in the non-crossing partition lattice T, and its, generalizations. In this paper we present bijections to certain classes of trees which reprove one theorem [l, Corollary 3.41 and provide a combinatoridi proof for the other [I, Theorem 5.31. We begin with a review of the definitions. A set partition X ...
