A bijection between 3-Motzkin paths and Schröder paths with no peak at odd.
In this paper, a direct combinatorial proof is given of a result on permutation pairs originally due to Carlitz, Scoville, and Vaughan and later extended. It concerns showing that the series expansion of the reciprocal of a certain multiply exponential generating function has positive integer coefficients. The arguments may then be applied to related problems, one of which concerns the reciprocal of the exponential series for Fibonacci numbers.
We prove a density version of the Carlson–Simpson Theorem. Specifically we show the following. For every integer and every set of words over satisfying there exist a word over and a sequence of left variable words over such that the set is contained in . While the result is infinite-dimensional its proof is based on an appropriate finite and quantitative version, also obtained in the paper.
