Dyck Paths with Peak- and Valley-Avoiding Sets
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we focus on Dyck paths with peaks and valleys, avoiding an arbitrary set of heights. The generating functions of such types of Dyck paths can be represented by continued fractions. We also discuss a special case that requires all peak and valley heights to avoid congruence classes modulo k. We study the shift equivalence on sequences, which in turn induces an equivalence relation on avoiding sets.

Dyck Paths with Peaks Avoiding or Restricted to a Given Set
In this paper we focus on Dyck paths with peaks avoiding or restricted to an arbitrary set of heights. The generating functions of such types of Dyck paths can be represented by continued fractions. We also discuss a special case that requires all peak heights to either lie on or avoid a congruence class (or classes) modulo k. The case when k = 2 is especially interesting. The two sequences for...
متن کاملCounting Dyck Paths According to the Maximum Distance Between Peaks and Valleys
A Dyck path of length 2n is a lattice path from (0, 0) to (2n, 0) consisting of upsteps u = (1, 1) and down-steps d = (1,−1) which never passes below the x-axis. Let Dn denote the set of Dyck paths of length 2n. A peak is an occurrence of ud (an upstep immediately followed by a downstep) within a Dyck path, while a valley is an occurrence of du. Here, we compute explicit formulas for the genera...
متن کاملAvoiding patterns in irreducible permutations
We explore the classical pattern avoidance question in the case of irreducible permutations, i.e., those in which there is no index i such that σ(i + 1) − σ(i) = 1. The problem is addressed completely in the case of avoiding one or two patterns of length three, and several well known sequences are encountered in the process, such as Catalan, Motzkin, Fibonacci, Tribonacci, Padovan and Binary nu...
متن کاملStatistics on Pattern-avoiding Permutations
This thesis concerns the enumeration of pattern-avoiding permutations with respect to certain statistics. Our first result is that the joint distribution of the pair of statistics ‘number of fixed points’ and ‘number of excedances’ is the same in 321-avoiding as in 132-avoiding permutations. This generalizes a recent result of Robertson, Saracino and Zeilberger, for which we also give another, ...
متن کاملThe Dyck pattern poset
We introduce the notion of pattern in the context of lattice paths, and investigate it in the specific case of Dyck paths. Similarly to the case of permutations, the pattern-containment relation defines a poset structure on the set of all Dyck paths, which we call the Dyck pattern poset. Given a Dyck path P , we determine a formula for the number of Dyck paths covered by P , as well as for the ...
