The q , t -Catalan numbers can be described elegantly in terms of pairs of statistics on Dyck paths: area and bounce, or area and dinv. Using bijective and recursive methods, we prove new expressions of the q , t -Catalan numbers in terms of pairs of...

A classical question in extremal (hyper)graph theory asks for tight minimum degree conditions which force the existence of certain spanning structures in large graphs, generalising Dirac's theorem from 1952. One aspect of this concerns tiling graphs...
