Combinatorial aspects of partitions of integers (05A17) Other combinatorial number theory (11B75) Elementary theory of partitions (11P81)

Abstract: The Raney numbers $R_{p,r}(k)$ are a two-parameter generalization of the Catalan numbers. In this paper, we obtain a recurrence relation for the Raney numbers which is a generalization of the recurrence relation for the Catalan numbers. Using this recurrence relation, we confirm a conjecture posed by Amdeberhan concerning the enumeration of $(s,s+1)$-core partitions $lambda$ with parts that are multiples of $p$. We then give a new combinatorial interpretation for the Raney numbers $R_{p+1,r+1}(k)$ with $0leqr<p$ in terms of $(kp+r,kp+r+1)$-core partitions $lambda$ with parts that are multiples of $p$.
