A Combinatorial Bijection between Ordered Trees and Lattice Paths

L. Rocha, E. V. Pereira Spreafico

Resumo


This work presents a combinatorial bijection between the set of lattice paths and the set of ordered trees, both counted by the central coefficients of the expansion of the trinomial (1+x+x^2)^n. Moreover, using a combinatorial interpretation of Catalan numbers, we establish a new set of ordered trees counted by a new sequence.
