From the matrix point of view, we use the recursion to discuss four combinatorial numbers in terms of the integer lattice paths, this is different from Andr\'a's method (Andra). We give four tables and matrices, and their relations, and…
Let M(n,k,r,s) be the number of ordered paths in the plane, with unit steps E or N, that intersect k times in which the first path ends at the point (r,n-r) and the second path ends at the point (s,n-s). Our main object of study in this…
Recently, several authors have considered lattice paths with various steps, including vertical steps permitted. In this paper, we consider a kind of generalized Motzkin paths, called {\it G-Motzkin paths} for short, that is lattice paths…
Given two relatively prime positive integers $\alpha$ and $\beta$, we consider simple lattice paths (with unit East and unit North steps) from $(0,0)$ to $(\alpha k,\beta k)$, and enumerate them by their left and right bounces with respect…
We enumerate the edges in the Hasse diagram of several lattices arising in the combinatorial context of lattice paths. Specifically, we will consider the case of Dyck, Grand Dyck, Motzkin, Grand Motzkin, Schr\"oder and Grand Schr\"oder…
For $0\leq k \leq n$, the number $C(n,k)$ represents the number of all lattice paths in the plane from the point $(0,0)$ to the point $(n,k)$, using steps $(1,0)$ and $(0,1)$, that never rise above the main diagonal $y=x$. The Fuss-Catalan…
This work presents new asymptotic formulas for family of walks in Weyl chambers. The models studied here are defined by step sets which exhibit many symmetries and are restricted to the first orthant. The resulting formulas are very…
We consider posets of lattice paths (endowed with a natural order) and begin the study of such structures. We give an algebraic condition to recognize which ones of these posets are lattices. Next we study the class of Dyck lattices (i.e.,…
Motzkin paths of order-$\ell$ are a generalization of Motzkin paths that use steps $U=(1,1)$, $L=(1,0)$, and $D_i=(1,-i)$ for every positive integer $i \leq \ell$. We further generalize order-$\ell$ Motzkin paths by allowing for various…
This is a survey of results in the enumeration of lattice paths.
We consider the problem of counting the set of $\mathscr{D}_{a,b}$ of Dyck paths inscribed in a rectangle of size $a\times b$. They are a natural generalization of the classical Dyck words enumerated by the Catalan numbers. By using Ferrers…
The combinatorics of certain osculating lattice paths is studied, and a relationship with oscillating tableaux is obtained. More specifically, the paths being considered have fixed start and end points on respectively the lower and right…
Fill each box in a Young diagram with the number of paths from the bottom of its column to the end of its row, using steps north and east. Then, any square sub-matrix of this array starting on the south-east boundary has determinant one. We…
The Gessel number $P(n,r)$ represents the number of lattice paths in a plane with unit horizontal and vertical steps from $(0,0)$ to $(n+r,n+r-1)$ that never touch any of the points from the set $\{(x,x)\in \mathbb{Z}^2: x \geq r\}$. In…
Let G_n denote the set of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,n) with steps of the form (i,j) where i and j are nonnegative integers, not both 0. Let D_n denote the set of paths in G_n with steps restricted to (1,0), (0,1), (1,1), so-called…
It is well known that the set of $m$-Dyck paths with a fixed height and a fixed amount of valleys is counted by the Fu{\ss}-Narayana numbers. In this article, we consider the set of $m$-Dyck paths that start with at least $t$ north steps.…
A lattice path is called \emph{Delannoy} if its every step belongs to $\left\{N, E, D\right\}$, where $N=(0,1)$, $E=(1,0)$, and $D=(1,1)$ steps. \emph{Peak}, \emph{valley}, and \emph{deep valley} mean $NE$, $EN$, and $EENN$ on the lattice…
We give bijective results between several variants of lattice paths of length $2n$ (or $2n-2$) and integer compositions of n, all enumerated by the seemingly innocuous formula $4^{n-1}$. These associations lead us to make new connections…
Consider lattice paths in Z^2 taking unit steps north (N) and east (E). Fix positive integers r,s and put an equivalence relation on points of Z^2 by letting v,w be equivalent if v - w = m (r,s) for some m in Z. Call a lattice path valid if…
We provide an elementary proof of a formula for the number of northeast lattice paths that lie in a certain region of the plane. Equivalently, this formula counts the lattice points inside the Pitman--Stanley polytope of an n-tuple.
