Restricting Dyck Paths and 312-avoiding Permutations

Combinatorics 2023-07-07 v1

Abstract

Dyck paths having height at most hh and without valleys at height h1h-1 are combinatorially interpreted by means of 312-avoding permutations with some restrictions on their \emph{left-to-right maxima}. The results are obtained by analyzing a restriction of a well-known bijection between the sets of Dyck paths and 312-avoding permutations. We also provide a recursive formula enumerating these two structures using ECO method and the theory of production matrices. As a further result we obtain a family of combinatorial identities involving Catalan numbers.
