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…
A circular Pascal array is a periodization of the familiar Pascal's triangle. Using simple operators defined on periodic sequences, we find a direct relationship between the ranges of the circular Pascal arrays and numbers of certain…
In this paper, we study two different subposets of the $\nu$-Tamari lattice: one in which all elements have maximal in-degree and one in which all elements have maximal out-degree. The maximal in-degree and maximal out-degree of a…
An $(a,b)$-Dyck path $P$ is a lattice path from $(0,0)$ to $(b,a)$ that stays above the line $y=\frac{a}{b}x$. The zeta map is a curious rule that maps the set of $(a,b)$-Dyck paths into itself; it is conjecturally bijective, and we provide…
A plateau in a Motzkin path is a sequence of three steps: an up step, a horizontal step, then a down step. We find three different forms for the bivariate generating function for plateaus in Motzkin paths, then generalize to longer…
In \cite{BaDeFePi96} the concept of nondecreasing Dyck paths was introduced. We continue this research by looking at it from the point of view of words, rational languages, planted plane trees, and continued fractions. We construct a…
Dyck paths having height at most $h$ and without valleys at height $h-1$ are combinatorially interpreted by means of 312-avoding permutations with some restrictions on their \emph{left-to-right maxima}. The results are obtained by analyzing…
Given a lattice path $\nu$, the $\nu$-Tamari lattice and the $\nu$-Dyck lattice are two natural examples of partial order structures on the set of lattice paths that lie weakly above $\nu$. In this paper, we introduce a more general family…
In this paper we present a variant of the well known Skorokhod Representation Theorem. In our main result, given $S$ a Polish space, to a given continous path $\alpha$ in the space of probability measures on $S$, we associate a continuous…
We consider the possible visits to visible points of a random walker moving up and right in the integer lattice (with probability $\alpha$ and $1-\alpha$, respectively) and starting from the origin. We show that, almost surely, the…
We analyze a random walk strategy on undirected regular networks involving power matrix functions of the type $L^{\frac{\alpha}{2}}$ where $L$ indicates a `simple' Laplacian matrix. We refer such walks to as `Fractional Random Walks' with…
We enumerate lattice paths in the planar integer lattice consisting of positively directed unit vertical and horizontal steps with respect to a specific elliptic weight function. The elliptic generating function of paths from a given…
We consider a sorting machine consisting of two stacks in series where the first stack has the added restriction that entries in the stack must be in decreasing order from top to bottom. The class of permutations sortable by this machine…
Around 2000, Ira Gessel conjectured that the number of lattice walks in the quadrant N^2, starting and ending at the origin (0,0) and taking their steps in {E,NE,W,SW} had a simple hypergeometric form. In the following decade, this problem…
For a given finite subset P of points of the lattice Z^2, a friendly path is a monotone (uphill or downhill) lattice path which splits points in half; points lying on the path itself are discarded. The purpose of this paper (and its sequel)…
We compute the average shape of trajectories of some one--dimensional stochastic processes x(t) in the (t,x) plane during an excursion, i.e. between two successive returns to a reference value, finding that it obeys a scaling form. For…
We study the enumeration of different classes of grand knight's paths in the plane. In particular, we focus on the subsets of zigzag knight's paths that are subject to constraints. These constraints include ending at $y$-coordinate 0,…
The theme of this article is a "reciprocity" between bounded up-down paths and bounded alternating sequences. Roughly speaking, this ``reciprocity" manifests itself by the fact that the extension of the sequence of numbers of paths of…
Using the bijection between partitions and vacillating tableaux, we establish a correspondence between pairs of noncrossing free Dyck paths of length $2n$ and noncrossing partitions of $[2n+1]$ with $n+1$ blocks. In terms of the number of…
Any finite dimensional semisimple algebra A over a field K is isomorphic to a direct sum of finite dimensional full matrix rings over suitable division rings. In this paper we will consider the special case where all division rings are…
