This is a continuation of my post Number of bounded Dyck paths with "negative length". Let $C_{n}^{(2k+1)}$ be the number of Dyck paths of semilength $n$ bounded by $2k+1.$ They satisfy a ...

Let $I_k$ denote the enumeration of involutions among permutations in $\mathfrak{S}_k$. I always enjoy these numbers. Of course, here is yet another cute experimental finding for which I ask validity. ...

Let $A_{n,m}$ be the band matrix $$ A_{n,m}=\left( \binom{2m}{j-i+m}-\binom{2m}{m-i-j-1} \right)_{0\leq {i,j} \leq {n-1}}.$$ For example, $$A_{6,2}=\left ( \begin{matrix} 2 & 3 & 1& 0 &...

The following is called a J continued fraction: $$\cfrac{\alpha_0}{1+a_0x-\cfrac{b_1x^2}{1+a_1x-\cfrac{b_2x^2}{1+a_2x-\cdots}}}$$ where the constants are real numbers. Let $\alpha_n= \frac{1}{(n+1)^2}$...
