The classical Chung-Feller theorem [2] tells us that the number of Dyck paths of length $n$ with $m$ flaws is the $n$-th Catalan number and independent on $m$. In this paper, we consider the refinements of Dyck paths with flaws by four…
Skew Dyck paths are like Dyck paths, but an additional south-west step $(-1,-1)$ is allowed, provided that the path does not intersect itself. Lattice paths with catastrophes can drop from any level to the origin in just one step. We…
A permutation whose any prefix has no more descents than ascents is called a ballot permutation. In this paper, we present a decomposition of ballot permutations that enables us to construct a bijection between ballot permutations and odd…
Hypermaps were introduced as an algebraic tool for the representation of embeddings of graphs on an orientable surface. Recently a bijection was given between hypermaps and indecomposable permutations; this sheds new light on the subject by…
We introduce a simple, rank-based algorithm for inverting the sweep map on (2n,n)-Dyck paths.
Building upon the foundational work of Thomas and Williams on the modular sweep map, Garsia and Xin have developed a straightforward algorithm for the inversion of the sweep map on rational $(m,n)$-Dyck paths, where $(m,n)$ represents…
We construct a bijection between 231-avoiding permutations and Dyck paths that sends the sum of the major index and the inverse major index of a 231-avoiding permutation to the major index of the corresponding Dyck path. Furthermore, we…
We show that the distribution of the number of peaks at height $i$ modulo $k$ in $k$-Dyck paths of a given length is independent of $i\in[0,k-1]$ and is the reversal of the distribution of the total number of peaks. Moreover, these…
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…
The $m$-Tamari lattices $\mathcal{T}_{n}^{(m)}$, introduced by Bergeron and Pr{\'e}ville-Ratelle, are defined as a poset of $m$-Dyck paths equipped with the generalized rotation order, and constitute a Fuss-Catalan generalization of the…
Motivated by independent results of Bizley and Duchon, we study rational Dyck paths and their subset of factor-free elements. On the one hand, we give a bijection between rational Dyck paths and regular Dyck paths with ascents colored by…
We study, via combinatorial enumeration, the probability of k-hop connection between two nodes in a wireless multi-hop network. This addresses the difficulty of providing an exact formula for the scaling of hop counts with Euclidean…
For $0\leq k\leq n-1$, we introduce a family of $k$-skeletal paths which are counted by the $n$-th Catalan number for each $k$, and specialize to Dyck paths when $k=n-1$. We similarly introduce $k$-skeletal parking functions which are…
A k-triangulation of a convex polygon is a maximal set of diagonals so that no k+1 of them mutually cross in their interiors. We present a bijection between 2-triangulations of a convex n-gon and pairs of non-crossing Dyck paths of length…
In this article, we provide a bijection between the set of inversion sequences avoiding the pattern 102 and the set of 2-Schr\"{o}der paths having neither peaks nor valleys and ending with a diagonal step. To achieve this, we introduce two…
We study four bijections, which are promotion, evacuation, rowmotion, and rowvacuation, on generalized Dyck paths in rational Catalan combinatorics. We define the maps on generalized Dyck paths, which have their origins in maps on Dyck…
This paper concentrates on the set $\mathcal{V}_n$ of weighted Dyck paths of length $2n$ with special restrictions on the level of valleys. We first give its explicit formula of the counting generating function in terms of certain weight…
Three-dimensional Catalan numbers are a variant of the classical (bidimensional) Catalan numbers, that count, among other interesting objects, the standard Young tableaux of shape (n,n,n). In this paper, we present a structural bijection…
This short note gives a bijection between quarter plane walks using the steps $\{\rightarrow, \searrow, \downarrow, \leftarrow, \nwarrow, \uparrow\}$ and bicoloured Motzkin paths.
It is a longstanding open problem to find a bijection exchanging area and bounce statistics on Dyck paths. We settle this problem for an exponentially large subset of Dyck paths via an explicit bijection. Moreover, we prove that this…
