| For integers n,m with n≥1 and 0≤m≤n,an(n,m)-Dyck path is a lattice path in the integer lattice Z×Z using up steps(0,1)and down steps(1,0)that goes from the origin(0,0)to the point(n,n)and contains exactly m up steps below the line y=x.The classical Chung-Feller theorem says that the total number of(n,m)-Dyck path is independent of m and is equal to the n-th Catalan number Cn=1/(n+1)(?).For any integer k with 1≤k≤n,let pn,m,kbe the total number of(n,m)-Dyck paths with k peaks.Ma and Yeh proved that pn,m,k=pn,n-m,n-kfor 0≤m≤n,and pn,m,k+pn,m,n-k=pn,m+1,k+pn,m+1,n-kfor 1≤m≤n-2.In this paper we give bijective proofs of these two results.Using our bijections,we also get refined enumeration results on the numbers pn,m,kand pn,m,k+pn,m,n-kaccording to the starting and ending steps. |
