Abstract:
Given a positive rational q,
we consider Dyck paths of height at most two,
subject to constraints on the number of consecutive peaks and consecutive
valleys depending on q. We introduce a general class of Dyck paths, named
rational Dyck paths, and provide the associated generating function based
on their semilength, along with a construction for this class. Moreover,
we characterize certain subsets of rational Dyck paths that are enumerated
by the Q-bonacci numbers.
