Some asymptotic formulas for lattice paths (Q1821419)

The author studies the asymptotic behaviour of the numbers \(\rho\) (n,j), \(\rho\) (a,b,j) and w(n,j) of two-dimensional lattice paths starting at the origin and satisfying, respectively, the following conditions: (i) The paths have length n and the area under each path is j. (ii) The paths have a fixed endpoint (a,b) and the area under each path is j. (iii) The paths have a fixed endpoint (n,n), remain in the domain \(y<x\) for \(0<x<n\), and the area under each path is j. Some of the asymptotic results are obtained by introducing suitable random variables satisfying Lindeberg's condition.
