Abstract

In the first part of this paper I give an elementary overview about some number sequences which count various sorts of lattice paths in strips along the x-axis and compute their generating functions in terms of Fibonacci and Lucas polynomials. In the second part I generalize these results by introducing suitable weights and study some special cases in more detail. In the course of this work I have been led to curious number triangles and various conjectures
