In this paper we studied infinite weighted automata and a general methodology to solve a wide variety of classical lattice path counting problems in an uniform way. This counting problems are related to Dyck paths, Motzkin paths and some…
Trying to enumerate all of the walks in a 2D lattice is a fun combinatorial problem and there are numerous applications, from polymers to sports. Computers provide a wonderful tool for analyzing these walks; we provide a Maple package for…
This paper introduces nondeterministic walks, a new variant of one-dimensional discrete walks. The main difference to classical walks is that its nondeterministic steps consist of sets of steps from a predefined set such that all possible…
Instead of $k$-Dyck paths we consider the equivalent concept of $k$-non-crossing trees. This is our preferred approach relative to down-step statistics modulo $k$ (first studied by Heuberger, Selkirk, and Wagner by different methods). One…
It is a classical result in combinatorics that among lattice paths with 2m steps U=(1,1) and D=(1,-1) starting at the origin, the number of those that do not go below the x-axis equals the number of those that end on the x-axis. A much more…
We give a $q$-enumeration of circular Dyck paths, which is a superset of the classical Dyck paths enumerated by the Catalan numbers. These objects have recently been studied by Alexandersson and Panova. Furthermore, we show that this…
Kim and Drake used generating functions to prove that the number of 2-distant noncrossing matchings, which are in bijection with little Schroeder paths, is the same as the weight of Dyck paths in which downsteps from even height have weight…
In 1980, Paul Erd\H{o}s posed the following problem: For every positive integer $n,$ determine a nonhamiltonian graph of order $n$ having the maximum number of Hamilton paths. We solve the more general problem of determining the…
Paths are important structural elements in complex networks because they are finite (unlike walks), related to effective node coverage (minimum spanning trees), and can be understood as being dual to star connectivity. This article…
Following the work of Cano and Diaz, we consider a continuous analog of lattice path enumeration. This allows us to define a continuous version of any discrete object that counts certain types of lattice paths. We define continuous versions…
Given a graph $G(V, E)$ and a positive integer $k$ ($k \geq 1$), a simple path on $k$ vertices is a sequence of $k$ vertices in which no vertex appears more than once and each consecutive pair of vertices in the sequence are connected by an…
In this paper we present a CAT generation algorithm for Dyck paths with a fixed length n. It is the formalization of a method for the exhaustive generation of this kind of paths which can be described by means of two equivalent strategies.…
In this article we investigate the lattices of Dyck paths of type $A$ and $B$ under dominance order, and explicitly describe their Heyting algebra structure. This means that each Dyck path of either type has a relative pseudocomplement with…
We derive a series of results on random walks on a d-dimensional hypercubic lattice (lattice paths). We introduce the notions of terse and simple paths corresponding to the path having no backtracking parts (spikes). These paths label…
Lattice paths are important tools on solving some combinatorial identities. This note gives a new bijection between unbalanced Dyck path (a path that never reaches the diagonal of the lattice) and NE (North and East only) lattice path from…
Dirac showed that in a $(k-1)$-connected graph there is a path through each $k$ vertices. The path $k$-connectivity $\pi_k(G)$ of a graph $G$, which is a generalization of Dirac's notion, was introduced by Hager in 1986. In this paper, we…
We introduce the notion of pattern in the context of lattice paths, and investigate it in the specific case of Dyck paths. Similarly to the case of permutations, the pattern-containment relation defines a poset structure on the set of all…
In this article, we study the enumeration by length of several walk models on the square lattice. We obtain bijections between walks in the upper half-plane returning to the $x$-axis and walks in the quarter plane. A recent work by Bostan,…
We exhibit a bijection between central Delannoy $n$-paths, that is, lattice paths from the origin to $(n,n)$ with steps $E=(1,0), \,N=(0,1),\,D=(1,1)$ and the lattice paths from the origin to $(n+1,n)$ where the only restriction on the…
We propose an original approach to the problem of rankunimodality for Dyck lattices. It is based on a well known recursive construction of Dyck paths originally developed in the context of the ECO methodology, which provides a partition of…
