A bijective proof for the odd companion to Shapiro's Catalan convolution

Shapiro's Catalan convolution is the following formula (where $C_n$ is the $n$th Catalan number): $$ \sum_{k=0}^{n}{C_{2k}C_{2(n-k)}}=4^nC_n. $$ In other words, letting $C(z)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}{C_nz^...

For a combinatorial proof of a symmetric identity

In my paper Supercongruences involving dual sequences [Finite Fields Appl. 46(2017), 179-216], I gave a new symmetric identity which states that if $x+y=-1$ then $$\sum_{k=0}^n(-1)^k\binom xk^2\binom{...
