摘要
k 平面树是一种平面树,它的顶点被分配的标签介于 1 和 k 之间,使得任何一条边上的标签之和都不大于 \(k+1\)。众所周知,这些树与((k+1)\)ary 树有关,而且它们是用广义版的加泰罗尼亚数来计数的。我们证明了一个简单得令人吃惊的精炼计数公式,在这个公式中,我们对每一种树都有规定数量的标签进行计数。我们从这个公式中推导出了几个推论,并证明了 k-noncrossing 树的类似定理,这是一个与 \((2k+1)\ary 树相关的有标签的非交叉树的类似定义族。
Refined Enumeration of \({{\varvec{k}}}\)-plane Trees and \({\varvec{k}}\)-noncrossing Trees
A k-plane tree is a plane tree whose vertices are assigned labels between 1 and k in such a way that the sum of the labels along any edge is no greater than \(k+1\). These trees are known to be related to \((k+1)\)-ary trees, and they are counted by a generalised version of the Catalan numbers. We prove a surprisingly simple refined counting formula, where we count trees with a prescribed number of labels of each kind. Several corollaries are derived from this formula, and an analogous theorem is proven for k-noncrossing trees, a similarly defined family of labelled noncrossing trees that are related to \((2k+1)\)-ary trees.
