Catalan Numbers Revisited

چکیده

/ _ _ \ We define the nth Catalan number to be C n = ~ z ~ l / ( n + 1). It is ~ / known that the number of well-formed orderings of n open and n closed parentheses is C~ [3, pp. 60, 63, 64]. Many proofs of this fact involve recurrence relations and generating functions. Other proofs use combinatorial reasoning to show that the number of well-formed orderings is (2 : ) _ (~a~ 1), and then verify algebraically that this difference equals

Some Properties of the Fuss–catalan Numbers

In the paper, the authors express the Fuss–Catalan numbers as several forms in terms of the Catalan–Qi function, find some analytic properties, including the monotonicity, logarithmic convexity, complete monotonicity, and minimality, of the Fuss–Catalan numbers, and derive a double inequality for bounding the Fuss–Catalan numbers.

The Super Patalan Numbers

We introduce the super Patalan numbers, a generalization of the super Catalan numbers in the sense of Gessel, and prove a number of properties analogous to those of the super Catalan numbers. The super Patalan numbers generalize the super Catalan numbers similarly to how the Patalan numbers generalize the Catalan numbers.

Parametric Catalan Numbers and Catalan Triangles

Here presented a generalization of Catalan numbers and Catalan triangles associated with two parameters based on the sequence characterization of Bell-type Riordan arrays. Among the generalized Catalan numbers, a class of large generalized Catalan numbers and a class of small generalized Catalan numbers are defined, which can be considered as an extension of large Schröder numbers and small Sch...

A 55 Integers 10 ( 2010 ) , 771 - 792 a Left Weighted Catalan Extension

There are many representations of the Catalan numbers. In this article, we will examine the ballot problem and extend it beyond the standard p-Catalan extension to a left weighted extension. This extension reduces naturally to the p-Catalan numbers (including the standard 2-Catalan numbers). We will then give a variety of examples of the extension for other representations of the Catalan number...

Staircase tilings and k-Catalan structures

Many interesting combinatorial objects are enumerated by the k-Catalan numbers, one possible generalization of the Catalan numbers. We will present a new combinatorial object that is enumerated by the k-Catalan numbers, staircase tilings. We give a bijection between staircase tilings and k-good paths, and between k-good paths and k-ary trees. In addition, we enumerate k-ary paths according to D...
