We introduce and study the new combinatorial class of Dyck paths with air pockets. We exhibit a bijection with the peakless Motzkin paths which transports several pattern statistics and give bivariate generating functions for the…

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…

The development of the theories of the second-order Eulerian polynomials began with the works of Buckholtz and Carlitz in their studies of an asymptotic expansion. Gessel-Stanley introduced Stirling permutations and presented combinatorial…

Paths that consist of up-steps of one unit and down-steps of $k$ units, being bounded below by a horizontal line $-t$, behave like $t+1$ ordered tuples of $k$-Dyck paths, provided that $t\le k$. We describe the general case, allowing $t$…

We study analytically the order statistics of a time series generated by the successive positions of a symmetric random walk of n steps with step lengths of finite variance \sigma^2. We show that the statistics of the gap d_{k,n}=M_{k,n}…

We call progressive paths and rushed paths two families of Dyck paths studied by Asinowski and Jelinek, which have the same enumerating sequence (OEIS entry A287709). We present a bijection proving this fact. Rushed paths turn out to be in…

We introduce and study a new partial order on Dyck paths. We prove that these posets are meet-semilattices. We show that their numbers of intervals are the same as the number of bicubic planar maps. We describe an unexpected connection with…

A partial order is universal if it contains every countable partial order as a suborder. In 2017, Fiala, Hubi\v{c}ka, Long and Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il showed that every interval in the homomorphism order of graphs is universal, with the only…

The concepts of symmetric and asymmetric peaks in Dyck paths were introduced by Fl\'{o}rez and Ram\'{\i}rez, who counted the total number of such peaks over all Dyck paths of a given length. Elizalde generalized their results by giving…

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,…

We give a bijection between permutations of length 2n and certain pairs of Dyck paths with labels on the down steps. The bijection arises from a game in which two players alternate selecting from a set of 2n items: the permutation encodes…

We reconsider the problem of even-visiting random walks in one dimension. This problem is mapped onto a non-Hermitian Anderson model with binary disorder. We develop very efficient numerical tools to enumerate and characterize even-visiting…

This paper introduces nondeterministic walks, a new variant of one-dimensional discrete walks. At each step, a nondeterministic walk draws a random set of steps from a predefined set of sets and explores all possible extensions in parallel.…

We study the function $H_n(C_{2k})$, the maximum number of Hamilton paths such that the union of any pair of them contains $C_{2k}$ as a subgraph. We give upper bounds on this quantity for $k\ge 3$, improving results of Harcos and…

We present a new bijection between variants of $m$-Dyck paths (paths with steps in $\{+1,-m\}$ starting and ending at height $0$ and remaining at non-negative height), which generalizes a classical bijection between Dyck prefixes and…

We relate the combinatorics of periodic generalized Dyck and Motzkin paths to the cluster coefficients of particles obeying generalized exclusion statistics, and obtain explicit expressions for the counting of paths with a fixed number of…

It was shown recently by the authors that, for any n, there is equality between the distributions of certain triplets of statistics on nxn alternating sign matrices (ASMs) and descending plane partitions (DPPs) with each part at most n. The…

We show bijectively that the Catalan number C_n counts Dyck (n+1)-paths in which the terminal descent is of even length and all other descents to ground level (if any) are of odd length.

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…

We exploit Krattenthaler's bijection between 123-avoiding permutations and Dyck paths to determine the Eulerian distribution over the set $S_n(123)$ of 123-avoiding permutations in $S_n$. In particular, we show that the descents of a…
