Action graphs, planar rooted forests, and self-convolutions of the Catalan numbers

Abstract

We show that families of action graphs, with initial graphs which are linear of varying length, give rise to self-convolutions of the Catalan sequence. We prove this result via a comparison with planar rooted forests with a fixed number of trees.
