Dyck path factorization

Combinatorics 2021-11-29 v1

Abstract

Dyck paths are among the most heavily studied Catalan families. We work with peaks and valleys to uniquely decompose Dyck paths into the simplest objects - prime fragments with a single peak. Each Dyck path is uniquely characterized by a set of peaks or a set of valleys. The appendix contains a python program with which the reader can factorize Dyck paths online.
