چکیده

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. Authors introduce a class of generalized Motzkin paths called (i, j)-Motzkin paths, and present a bijection between hilly poor noncrossing partitions and (2, 3)-Motzkin paths. Specialization of the bijection deduces various results regarding 3-colored Motzkin paths, Catalan numbers, Motzkin numbers and Riordan numbers.

Noncrossing linked partitions and large (3, 2)-Motzkin paths

Noncrossing linked partitions arise in the study of certain transforms in free probability theory. We explore the connection between noncrossing linked partitions and (3, 2)-Motzkin paths, where a (3, 2)-Motzkin path can be viewed as a Motzkin path for which there are three types of horizontal steps and two types of down steps. A large (3, 2)Motzkin path is a (3, 2)-Motzkin path for which there...

A note on 2-distant noncrossing partitions and weighted Motzkin paths

We prove a conjecture of Drake and Kim: the number of 2-distant noncrossing partitions of {1, 2, . . . , n} is equal to the sum of weights of Motzkin paths of length n, where the weight of a Motzkin path is a product of certain fractions involving Fibonacci numbers. We provide two proofs of their conjecture: one uses continued fractions and the other is combinatorial.

Crossings and Nestings in Colored Set Partitions

Chen, Deng, Du, Stanley, and Yan introduced the notion of k-crossings and k-nestings for set partitions, and proved that the sizes of the largest k-crossings and k-nestings in the partitions of an n-set possess a symmetric joint distribution. This work considers a generalization of these results to set partitions whose arcs are labeled by an r-element set (which we call r-colored set partitions...

Pairs of noncrossing free Dyck paths and noncrossing partitions

Using the bijection between partitions and vacillating tableaux, we establish a correspondence between pairs of noncrossing free Dyck paths of length 2n and noncrossing partitions of [2n + 1] with n + 1 blocks. In terms of the number of up steps at odd positions, we find a characterization of Dyck paths constructed from pairs of noncrossing free Dyck paths by using the Labelle merging algorithm.

Some order-theoretic properties of the Motzkin and Schröder families∗

Our starting point is one of the main results of [BBFP], which we are going to recall in the next lines. Denote by Dn, NC(n) and Sn(312) the sets of Dyck paths of length 2n, noncrossing partitions of [1, n] and 312-avoiding permutations of [1, n], respectively, where [1, n] is the set of positive integers less than or equal to n. For our purposes, the following notations will be particularly us...
