ECO method and hill-free generalized Motzkin paths
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we study the class of generalized Motzkin paths with no hills and prove some of their combinatorial properties in a bijective way; as a particular case we have the Fine numbers, enumerating Dyck paths with no hills. Using the ECO method, we define a recursive construction for Dyck paths such that the number of local expansions performed on each path depends on the number of its hills. We then extend this construction to the set of generalized Motzkin paths.

An exhaustive generation algorithm for Catalan objects and others
The paper presents a CAT generation algorithm for Dyck paths with fixed length n. It is the formalization of a method for the exhaustive generation of these paths which can be described by two equivalent strategies. The former uses a rooted tree, the latter lists the paths and provides a visit of the nodes of the tree, basing on three simple operations. These constructions are strictly connecte...
متن کاملThe Goulden-Jackson cluster method for monoid networks and an application to lattice path enumeration
Given a nite or countably in nite set A, let A∗ be the set of all nite sequences of elements of A, including the empty sequence. We call A an alphabet, the elements of A letters, and the elements of A∗ words. By de ning an associative binary operation on two words by concatenating them, we see that A∗ is a monoid under the operation of concatenation, and we call A∗ the free monoid on A. The com...
متن کاملHilly poor noncrossing partitions and (2, 3)-Motzkin paths
A hilly poor noncrossing partition is a noncrossing partition with the properties : (1) each block has at most two elements, (2) in its linear representation, any isolated vertex is covered by some arc. This paper defines basic pairs as a combinatorial object and gives the number of hilly poor noncrossing partitions with n blocks, which is closely related to Maximal Davenport-Schinzel sequences...
متن کاملA generalized Goulden-Jackson cluster method and lattice path enumeration
The Goulden–Jackson cluster method is a powerful tool for obtaining generating functions for counting words in a free monoid by occurrences of a set of subwords. We introduce a generalization of the cluster method for monoid networks, which generalize the combinatorial framework of free monoids. As a sample application of the generalized cluster method, we compute bivariate and multivariate gen...
متن کاملMotzkin Paths, Motzkin Polynomials and Recurrence Relations
We consider the Motzkin paths which are simple combinatorial objects appearing in many contexts. They are counted by the Motzkin numbers, related to the well known Catalan numbers. Associated with the Motzkin paths, we introduce the Motzkin polynomial, which is a multi-variable polynomial “counting” all Motzkin paths of a certain type. Motzkin polynomials (also called Jacobi-Rogers polynomials)...
