A new statistic on Dyck paths for counting 3-dimensional Catalan words

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

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 DD, a recently defined statistic counts the number of Catalan words with the property that any subword on two letters is exactly DD. In this paper, we enumerate Dyck paths with this statistic equal to certain values, including all primes. The formulas obtained are in terms of Motzkin numbers and Motzkin ballot numbers.
