چکیده

Counting pattern avoiding ballot paths begins with a careful analysis of the pattern. Not the length, but the characteristics of the pattern are responsible for the difficulties in finding explicit solutions. Certain features, like overlap and difference in number of → and ↑ steps determine the solution of the recursion formula. If the recursion can be solved by a polynomial sequence, we apply the Finite Operator Calculus to find an explicit form of the solution in terms of binomial coefficients.

A 61 Integers 11 ( 2011 ) Counting Depth Zero Patterns in Ballot Paths

The purpose of this work is to extend the theory of finite operator calculus to the multivariate setting, and apply it to the enumeration of certain lattice paths. The lattice paths we consider are ballot paths. A ballot path is a path that stays weakly above the diagonal y = x, starts at the origin, and takes steps from the set {↑,→} = {u, r}. Given a string p from the set {u, r}∗, we want to ...

Extended pattern avoidance

A 0-1 matrix is said to be extendably-avoiding if it can be the upper left corner of a-avoiding permutation matrix. This concept arose in EL], where the surprising result that the number of extendably 321-avoiding rectangles are enumerated by the ballot numbers was proved. Here we study the other ve patterns of length three. The main result is that the six patterns of length three divides into ...

The 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 ...

Some Combinatorics Related to Central Binomial Coefficients: Grand-Dyck Paths, Coloured Noncrossing Partitions and Signed Pattern Avoiding Permutations

We give some interpretations to certain integer sequences in terms of parameters on Grand-Dyck paths and coloured noncrossing partitions, and we find some new bijections relating Grand-Dyck paths and signed pattern avoiding permutations. Next we transfer a natural distributive lattice structure on Grand-Dyck paths to coloured noncrossing partitions and signed pattern avoiding permutations, thus...

Airy equation with memory involvement via Liouville differential operator

In this work, a non-integer order Airy equation involving Liouville differential operator is considered. Proposing an undetermined integral solution to the left fractional Airy differential equation, we utilize some basic fractional calculus tools to clarify the closed form. A similar suggestion to the right FADE, converts it into an equation in the Laplace domain. An illustration t...
