Catalan numbers and their interpretations in terms of Dyck paths are widely used in different topics of applied mathematics and computer science. Here, we consider a general approach for constrained Dyck paths. In particular, we study Dyck…

We define a weighted analog for the multidimensional Catalan numbers, obtain matrix-based recurrences for some of them, and give conditions under which they are periodic. Building on this framework, we introduce two new sequences of…

Three-dimensional Catalan numbers are a variant of the classical (bidimensional) Catalan numbers, that count, among other interesting objects, the standard Young tableaux of shape (n,n,n). In this paper, we present a structural bijection…

The \emph{$q,t$-Catalan numbers} $C_n(q,t)$ are polynomials in $q$ and $t$ that reduce to the ordinary Catalan numbers when $q=t=1$. These polynomials have important connections to representation theory, algebraic geometry, and symmetric…

A {\em k-generalized Dyck path} of length $n$ is a lattice path from $(0,0)$ to $(n,0)$ in the plane integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}$ consisting of horizontal-steps $(k, 0)$ for a given integer $k\geq 0$, up-steps $(1,1)$, and…

A 3-dimensional Catalan word is a word on three letters so that the subword on any two letters is a Dyck path. For a given Dyck path $D$, a recently defined statistic counts the number of Catalan words with the property that any subword on…

Bargraphs are a special class of convex polyominoes. They can be identified with lattice paths with unit steps north, east, and south that start at the origin, end on the $x$-axis, and stay strictly above the $x$-axis everywhere except at…

The Catalan number has a lot of interpretations and one of them is the number of Dyck paths. A Dyck path is a lattice path from $(0,0)$ to $(n,n)$ which is below the diagonal line $y=x$. One way to generalize the definition of Dyck path is…

Pappe, Paul, and Schilling introduced two combinatorial statistics, depth and ddinv, associated with classical Dyck paths, and proved that the distributions of (area, depth) and (dinv, ddinv) are $q,t$-symmetric by constructing an…

We analyze a weighted convolution of Catalan numbers $$ \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{2k}{k}\binom{2(n-k)}{n-k} a^k = \sum_{k=0}^{n} (k+1)(n-k+1) C_k C_{n-k} a^k, $$ emphasizing its combinatorial, analytic, and probabilistic aspects. We derive a…

In this paper, we investigate the weighted Catalan, Motzkin and Schr\"oder numbers together with the corresponding weighted paths. The relation between these numbers is illustrated by three equations, which also lead to some known and new…

The Catalan numbers (C_n)_{n >= 0} = 1,1,2,5,14,42,... form one of the most venerable sequences in combinatorics. They have many combinatorial interpretations, from counting bracketings of products in non-associative algebra to counting…

This paper develops three related combinatorial results for Dyck-type sequences. First, it constructs a row-insertion algorithm for dual Dyck sequences and extends it to Dyck tableaux. This construction gives a weight-preserving bijection…

During the study of dual sequences, Sun introduced the polynomials \[ D_n(x,y)=\sum_{k=0}^{n}{n\choose k}{x\choose k}y^k\text{ and } S_n(x,y)=\sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{n}{k}\binom{x}{k}\binom{-1-x}{k} y^k. \] Many related congruences have been…

A Catalan word is one on the alphabet of positive integers starting with $1$ in which each subsequent letter is at most one more than its predecessor. Let $\mathcal{C}_n$ denote the set of Catalan words of length $n$. In this paper, we give…

There are three classical lattices on the Catalan numbers: the Tamari lattice, the lattice of noncrossing partitions and the lattice of Dyck paths. The first is known to be isomorphic to the lattice of torsion classes of the path algebra of…

The Catalan number $C_n$ enumerates parenthesizations of $x_0*\dotsb*x_n$ where $*$ is a binary operation. We introduce the modular Catalan number $C_{k,n}$ to count equivalence classes of parenthesizations of $x_0*\dotsb*x_n$ when $*$…

We introduce the $q,t$-Catalan measures, a sequence of piece-wise polynomial measures on $\mathbb{R}^2$. These measures are defined in terms of suitable area, dinv, and bounce statistics on continuous families of paths in the plane, and…

We establish a tantalizing symmetry of certain numbers refining the Narayana numbers. In terms of Dyck paths, this symmetry is interpreted in the following way: if $w_{n,k,m}$ is the number of Dyck paths of semilength $n$ with $k$…

Analysis of the dynamics of the Dyck words helped solve the problem of representing the Catalan number as a sum of squares of natural numbers. In this case, the Dyck triangle is considered in different coordinates. In the calculations, we…
