A variation of Dyck paths allows for down-steps of arbitrary length, not just one. This is motivated by ideas due to Emeric Deutsch. We use the adding-a-new-slice technique and the kernel method to compute the number of maximal runs of…
Counting pattern avoiding ballot paths begins with a careful analysis of the pattern. Not the length, but the characteristics of the pattern are responsible for the difficulties in finding explicit solutions. Certain features, like overlap…
We consider Dyck paths having height at most two with some constraints on the number of consecutive valleys at height one which must be followed by a suitable number of valleys at height zero. We prove that they are enumerated by so-called…
Given a positive rational $q$, we consider Dyck paths having height at most two with some constraints on the number of consecutive peaks and consecutive valleys, depending on $q$. We introduce a general class of Dyck paths, called rational…
In this paper, we define the notion of descent for the paths in the $p$-Bratteli diagram. This leads to the definition of $p^{k}$-Eulerian polynomials, whose coefficients count the number of paths with a given number of descents. We provide…
Paths that consist of up-steps of one unit and down-steps of $k$ units, being bounded below by a horizontal line $-t$, behave like $t+1$ ordered tuples of $k$-Dyck paths, provided that $t\le k$. We describe the general case, allowing $t$…
Raised $k$-Dyck paths are a generalization of $k$-Dyck paths that may both begin and end at a nonzero height. In this paper, we develop closed formulas for the number of raised $k$-Dyck paths from $(0,\alpha)$ to $(\ell,\beta)$ for all…
A variation of Dyck paths allows for down-steps of arbitrary length, not just one. Credits for this invention are given to Emeric Deutsch. Surprisingly, the enumeration of them is somewhat akin to the analysis of Motzkin-paths; the last…
A Dyck path is a lattice path in the plane integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}$ consisting of steps (1,1) and (1,-1), which never passes below the x-axis. A peak at height k on a Dyck path is a point on the path with coordinate y=k…
We address the problem of enumerating paths in square lattices, where allowed steps include (1,0) and (0,1) everywhere, and (1,1) above the diagonal y=x. We consider two such lattices differing in whether the (1,1) steps are allowed along…
In a paper by Sapounakis, Tasoulas, and Tsikouras \cite{stt}, the authors count the number of occurrences of patterns of length four in Dyck paths. In this paper we specify in one direction and generalize in another. We only count ballot…
A dispersed Dyck path (DDP) of length n is a lattice path on $N\times N$ from (0,0) to (n,0) in which the following steps are allowed: "up" (x, y) $\to$ (x+1, y+1); "down" (x, y) $\to$ (x+1, y-1); and "right" (x,0) $\to$ (x+1,0). An ascent…
We prove a unified and general criterion for the uniqueness of critical points of a functional in the presence of constraints such as positivity, boundedness, or fixed mass. Our method relies on convexity properties along suitable paths and…
In this paper we study a subfamily of a classic lattice path, the \emph{Dyck paths}, called \emph{restricted $d$-Dyck} paths, in short $d$-Dyck. A valley of a Dyck path $P$ is a local minimum of $P$; if the difference between the heights of…
For fixed non-negative integers $k$, $t$, and $n$, with $t < k$, a $k_t$-Dyck path of length $(k+1)n$ is a lattice path that starts at $(0, 0)$, ends at $((k+1)n, 0)$, stays weakly above the line $y = -t$, and consists of steps from the…
$k$-Dyck paths differ from ordinary Dyck paths by using an up-step of length $k$. We analyze at which level the path is after the $s$-th up-step and before the $(s+1)$st up-step. In honour of Rainer Kemp who studied a related concept 40…
We study the incompressible Euler equation and prove that the set of weak solutions is path-connected. More precisely, we construct paths of H\"older regularity $C^{1/2}$, valued in $C^0_{t, loc} L^2_x$ endowed with the strong topology. The…
In a Dyck path a peak which is (weakly) higher than all the preceding peaks is called a strict (weak) left to right maximum. We obtain explicit generating functions for both weak and strict left to right maxima in Dyck paths. The proofs of…
We obtain formulas for the growth rate of the numbers of certain paths in infinite graphs built on the two-dimensional Eulerian graph. Corollaries are identities relating Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds.
Axiomatizing covarieties of coalgebras for an endofunctor is less intuitive than axiomatizing varieties of algebras via equations (Dahlqvist and Schmid, 2022). Existing techniques come from coalgebraic modal logic, pattern avoidance…
