On the $(n,k)$-th Catalan numbers

Dongseok Kim

Kyonggi University

Abstract

In this paper, we generalize the Catalan number to the $(n,k)$-th Catalan numbers and find a combinatorial description that the $(n,k)$-th Catalan numbers is equal to the number of partitions of $n(k-1)+2$ polygon by $(k+1)$-gon where all vertices of all $(k+1)$-gons lie on the vertices of $n(k-1)+2$ polygon.

Keywords: Catalan numbers, $(n,k)$-th Catalan numbers, partitions, combinatorial webs, invariant vectors

MSC numbers: Primary 05A19; Secondary 17B10, 05C05
