<p>I would like to ask whether there is a combinatorial proof of the following recurrence relation for Catalan numbers: $$ C_{n+1}=\frac{4n+2}{n+2} C_n. $$</p> <p>Thanks!~</p>

<p>What you are asking is reported as fourth proof in the wiki article for the formula of the Catalan numbers: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_number#Fourth_proof" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_number#Fourth_proof</a></p>
