On Generalized Dyck Paths

We generalize the elegant bijective proof of the Chung Feller theorem from the paper of Young-Ming Chen [The Chung-Feller theorem revisited, Disc. Math. 308 (2008), 1328–1329].

Counting Generalized Dyck Paths

The Catalan number has a lot of interpretations and one of them is the number of Dyck paths. A Dyck path is a lattice path from (0, 0) to (n, n) which is below the diagonal line y = x. One way to generalize the definition of Dyck path is to change the end point of Dyck path, i.e. we define (generalized) Dyck path to be a lattice path from (0, 0) to (m, n) ∈ N2 which is below the diagonal line y...

Pattern - avoiding Dyck paths †

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 ...

Dyck paths , Motzkin paths and traffic jams

It has recently been observed that the normalization of a one-dimensional out-of-equilibrium model, the asymmetric exclusion process (ASEP) with random sequential dynamics, is exactly equivalent to the partition function of a two-dimensional lattice path model of one-transit walks, or equivalently Dyck paths. This explains the applicability of the Lee–Yang theory of partition function zeros to ...
