Also on the upper right quadrant of a grid, the Motzkin number for ''n'' gives the number of routes from coordinate (0, 0) to coordinate (''n'', 0) if one is allowed to move only to the right (either up, down or straight) at each step but forbidden from dipping below the ''y'' = 0 axis. All together, there are at least fourteen different manifestations of Motzkin numbers in different branches of mathematics, as enumerated by Donaghey and Shapiro in their 1977 survey of Motzkin numbers. |
