A Bijection between Stacked Directed Polyominoes and Motzkin Paths with Alternative Catastrophes

arXiv:2406.16417 · doi:10.4204/EPTCS.403.34

Abstract

We present a novel bijection between stacked directed polyominoes and Motzkin paths with catastrophes. Further, we leverage this new bridge between these two worlds to obtain a better understanding of certain parameters of stacked directed animals. In particular, we obtain improved lower and upper bounds on the asymptotic width of stacked directed animals.
