Abstract

In this paper, we study additional aspects of the capacity distribution on the set Bn\mathcal{B}_n of compositions of nn consisting of 11's and 22's. Among our results are further recurrences for this distribution as well as formulas for the total capacity and sign balance on Bn\mathcal{B}_n. We provide algebraic and combinatorial proofs of our results. We also give combinatorial explanations of some prior results where such a proof was requested. Finally, the joint distribution of the capacity statistic with two further parameters on Bn\mathcal{B}_n is briefly considered.
