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…
Grand Dyck paths with air pockets (GDAP) are a generalization of Dyck paths with air pockets by allowing them to go below the $x$-axis. We present enumerative results on GDAP (or their prefixes) subject to various restrictions such as…
Differential Dynamic Programming (DDP) is a popular technique used to generate motion for dynamic-legged robots in the recent past. However, in most cases, only the first-order partial derivatives of the underlying dynamics are used,…
Vesicles, or closed fluctuating membranes, have been modeled in two dimensions by self-avoiding polygons, weighted with respect to their perimeter and enclosed area, with the simplest model given by area-weighted excursions. These models…

Recently, in the context of walks of hexagonal circle packings, interest has emerged in the family of skew Dyck paths with two variants of down-steps. These paths have steps $U, D_g, D_b, L=D_r$. Using generating functions, the kernel…
In this manuscript we consider the set of Dyck paths equipped with the uniform measure, and we study the statistical properties of a deformation of the observable "area below the Dyck path" as the size $N$ of the path goes to infinity. The…
In the Stanley lattice defined on Dyck paths of size $n$, cover relations are obtained by replacing a valley $DU$ by a peak $UD$. We investigate a greedy version of this lattice, first introduced by Chenevi\`ere, where cover relations…
A deformed differential calculus is developed based on an associative star-product. In two dimensions the Hamiltonian vector fields model the algebra of pseudo-differential operator, as used in the theory of integrable systems. Thus one…
We consider a generalised version of Motzkin paths, where horizontal steps have length $\ell$, with $\ell$ being a fixed positive integer. We first give the general functional equation for the area-length generating function of this model.…
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…
Differential Dynamic Programming (DDP) has become a well established method for unconstrained trajectory optimization. Despite its several applications in robotics and controls however, a widely successful constrained version of the…
A new series expansion for the the Airy function is presented here that stems from the method of steepest descents and can be related to the Hadamard expansions as presented in prevous works cited in the manuscript, and which is convergent…
In this paper a higher order non-linear differential equation is given and it becomes a higher order Airy equation (in our terminology) under the Cole-Hopf transformation. For the even case a solution is explicitly constructed, which is a…
The lattice path model suggested by E. Deutsch is derived from ordinary Dyck paths, but with additional down-steps of size -3,-5,-7,... . For such paths, we find the generating functions of them, according to length, ending at level $i$,…
Dyck paths with air pockets are obtained from ordinary Dyck paths by compressing maximal runs of down-steps into giant down-steps of arbitrary size. Using the kernel method, we consider partial Dyck paths with air pockets, both, from left…
Motzkin paths with air pockets (MAP) are defined as a generalization of Dyck paths with air pockets by adding some horizontal steps with certain conditions. In this paper, we introduce two generalizations. The first one consists of lattice…
We study the quadratic $k$-vertex-disjoint paths problem (Q-$k$-VDP), which seeks $k$ vertex-disjoint paths in a directed graph that minimize a nonconvex quadratic objective function. We formulate the problem as a binary quadratic program…

It is well known that phase function methods allow for the numerical solution of a large class of oscillatory second order linear ordinary differential equations in time independent of frequency. Unfortunately, these methods break down in…
