We present three bijections, the first between little Schr\"{o}der paths and a class of growth-constrained integer sequences, the second between lattice paths consisting of steps with nonnegative slope and another class of…

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…

We introduce a notion of Dyck paths with coloured ascents. For several ways of colouring, we establish bijections between sets of such paths and other combinatorial structures, such as non-crossing trees, dissections of a convex polygon,…

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…

We prove that on the set of lattice paths with steps N=(0,1) and E=(1,0) that lie between two fixed boundaries T and B (which are themselves lattice paths), the statistics `number of E steps shared with B' and `number of E steps shared with…

There is a natural bijection between Dyck paths and basis diagrams of the Temperley-Lieb algebra defined via tiling. Overhang paths are certain generalisations of Dyck paths allowing more general steps but restricted to a rectangle in the…

We present nine bijections between classes of Dyck paths and classes of standard Young tableaux (SYT). In particular, we consider SYT of flag and rectangular shapes, we give Dyck path descriptions for certain SYT of height at most 3, and we…

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…

For lattice paths in strips which begin at $(0,0)$ and have only up steps $U: (i,j) \rightarrow (i+1,j+1)$ and down steps $D: (i,j)\rightarrow (i+1,j-1)$, let $A_{n,k}$ denote the set of paths of length $n$ which start at $(0,0)$, end on…

Tree-like tableaux are combinatorial objects that appear in a combinatorial understanding of the PASEP model from statistical mechanics. In this understanding, the corners of the Southeast border correspond to the locations where a particle…

In this paper, we propose a notion of colored Motzkin paths and establish a bijection between the $n$-cell standard Young tableaux (SYT) of bounded height and the colored Motzkin paths of length $n$. This result not only gives a lattice…

In this note we show that the area of the partitions making up an oscillating tableaux is described by a random walk on the first quadrant of $\mathbb{Z}^2$ with certain position dependent weights. We are able to recursively calculate the…

Let ${\cal PO}_n$ be the semigroup of all order-preserving partial transformations of a finite chain. It is shown that there exist bijections between the set of certain lattice paths in the Cartesian plane that start at $(0,0)$, end at…

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…

We present refined enumeration formulas for lattice paths in $\mathbb{Z}^2$ with two kinds of steps, by keeping track of the number of descents (i.e., turns in a given direction), the major index (i.e., the sum of the positions of the…

We consider families $\mathcal{P}_n$ of plane lattice paths enumerated by Guy, Krattenthaler, and Sagan (1992). We show by explicit bijection that these families are equinumerous with the set $\mathrm{SYT}(n+2,2,1^n)$ of standard Young…

It is well-known that plane partitions, lozenge tilings of a hexagon, perfect matchings on a honeycomb graph, and families of non-intersecting lattice paths in a hexagon are all in bijection. In this work we consider regions that are more…

We study some distributive lattices arising in the combinatorics of lattice paths. In particular, for the Dyck, Motzkin and Schroder lattices we describe the spectrum and we determine explicitly the Euler characteristic in terms of natural…

We study the combinatorics of the change of basis of three representations of the stationary state algebra of the two parameter simple asymmetric exclusion process. Each of the representations considered correspond to a different set of…

The degree of symmetry of a combinatorial object, such as a lattice path, is a measure of how symmetric the object is. It typically ranges from zero, if the object is completely asymmetric, to its size, if it is completely symmetric. We…
