Counting Upper Interactions in Dyck Paths
Abstract.
Upper and lower interactions are parameters of Dyck paths which are
motivated by corresponding parameters in a model of partially directed
polymers. We investigate the problem of obtaining the generating
function for Dyck paths with respect to upper interactions in terms of
basic hypergeometric q-series in which an algebraic term occurs.
