      The coefficient of the Schur function \(s_ \mu\) in \(s_ \lambda h_{m_ 1} h_{n_ 1}^* \cdots\) counts the paths from \(\lambda \to \mu\) going up by horizontal strips, here \(h_ n\) is the homogeneous symmetric function of degree \(n\). The paper derives formulas to count the number of such paths (and others alike) by using Pieri's rule.
