Skew Schur Function Representation of Directed Paths in a Slit

Combinatorics 2020-09-29 v2

Abstract

In this work, we establish a general relationship between the enumeration of weighted directed paths and skew Schur functions, extending work by Bousquet-M\'elou, who expressed generating functions of discrete excursions in terms of rectangular Schur functions.
