The existence of apparently coincidental equalities (also called Wilf-equivalences) between the enumeration sequences, or generating functions, of various hereditary classes of combinatorial structures has attracted significant interest. We…

Lattice paths called $\ell$-Schr\"oder paths are introduced. They are paths on the upper half-plane consisting of $\ell+2$ types of steps: $(i,\ell-i)$ for $i=0,\ldots,\ell$, and $(1,-1)$. Those paths generalize Schr\"oder paths and some…

We solve two problems regarding the enumeration of lattice paths in $\mathbb{Z}^2$ with steps $(1,1)$ and $(1,-1)$ with respect to the major index, defined as the sum of the positions of the valleys, and to the number of certain crossings.…

The following special case of a conjecture by Loehr and Warrington was proved recently by Ekhad, Vatter, and Zeilberger: There are 10^n zero-sum words of length 5n in the alphabet {+3,-2} such that no zero-sum consecutive subword that…

This paper is devoted to construction of finitely presented infinite nil semigroup with identity $x^9=0$. This construction answers to the problem of Lev Shevrin and Mark Sapir. The paper is quite long so the proof is separated into…

For $\ell \geq 1$ and $k \geq 2$, we consider certain admissible sequences of $k-1$ lattice paths in a colored $\ell \times \ell$ square. We show that the number of such admissible sequences of lattice paths is given by the sum of squares…

Researching elliptic analogues for equalities and formulas is a new trend in enumerative combinatorics which has followed the previous trend of studying $q$-analogues. Recently Schlosser proposed a lattice path model in the square lattice…

Let $v$ be a grid path made of north and east steps. The lattice $\rm{T{\scriptsize AM}}(v)$, based on all grid paths weakly above $v$ and sharing the same endpoints as $v$, was introduced by Pr\'eville-Ratelle and Viennot (2014) and…

We give a combinatorial interpretation of a certain positivity conjecture of Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson classes, as stated by P. Aluffi and the author in a previous paper. It translates into a positivity property for a sum of p by p…

We enumerate the number of monotonic lattice paths starting at $(0,0)$ and terminating at $(m,n)$ in which $l$ of the first $k$ steps lie below the line $y=x\ (0\leq k\leq m\leq n)$. These closed formulas consist of terms which are a…

A covariant functor on the elliptic curves with complex multiplication is constructed. The functor takes values in the noncommutative tori with real multiplication. A conjecture on the rank of an elliptic curve is formulated.

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…

In the first part of this paper, we enumerate exactly walks on the square lattice that start from the origin, but otherwise avoid the non positive horizontal half-axis. We call them "walks on the slit plane". We count them by their length,…

Let $V$ be a real vector space of dimension $n$ and let $M\subset V$ be a lattice. Let $P\subset V$ be an $n$-dimensional polytope with vertices in $M$, and let $\varphi\colon V\rightarrow \CC $ be a homogeneous polynomial function of…

A lattice path in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ is a sequence $\nu_1,\nu_2,\ldots,\nu_k\in\mathbb{Z}^d$ such that the steps $\nu_i-\nu_{i-1}$ lie in a subset $\mathbf{S}$ of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ for all $i=2,\ldots,k$. Let $T_{m,n}$ be the $m\times n$ table in…

In queuing theory, it is usual to have some models with a "reset" of the queue. In terms of lattice paths, it is like having the possibility of jumping from any altitude to zero. These objects have the interesting feature that they do not…

Elliptic functions are largely studied and standardized mathematical objects. The two usual approaches are due to Jacobi and Weierstrass. From a contour integral which allowed us to unify many summation formulae (Euler-MacLaurin, Poisson,…

We recall the main types of lattice paths, which are sequences in the lattice of integer coordinates points in the plane. We start with the fundamental central lattice paths and Dyck paths and proceed in elementary terms through recently…

Ismail et al. (Constr. Approx. {\bf 15} (1999) 69--81) proved the positivity of some trigonometric polynomials with single binomial coefficients. In this paper, we prove some similar results by replacing the binomial coefficients with…

We show that recent determinant evaluations involving Catalan numbers and generalisations thereof have most convenient explanations by combining the Lindstr\"om-Gessel-Viennot theorem on non-intersecting lattice paths with a simple…
