A weighted interpretation for the super Catalan numbers

Combinatorics 2014-08-27 v2

Abstract

The super Catalan numbers T(m,n)=(2m)!(2n)!/2m!n!(m+n)!T(m,n)=(2m)!(2n)!/2m!n!(m+n)! are integers which generalize the Catalan numbers. With the exception of a few values of mm, no combinatorial interpretation in known for T(m,n)T(m,n). We give a weighted interpretation for T(m,n)T(m,n) and develop a technique that converts this weighted interpretation into a conventional combinatorial interpretation in the case m=2m=2.
