Topological Recursion for Generalized $bc$-Motzkin Numbers

Combinatorics 2021-11-29 v1 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We present a higher genus generalization of bcbc-Motzkin numbers, which are themselves a generalization of Catalan numbers, and we derive a recursive formula which can be used to calculate them. Further, we show that this leads to a topological recursion which is identical to the topological recursion that had previously been proved by Dumitrescu and Mulase for generalized Catalan numbers, and which is an example of the Eynard-Orantin topological recursion.
