Abstract:

A recent analysis of returns and hills of generalized Dyck paths is carried over to the language of t-ary trees, from which, by explicit bivariate generating functions, all the relevant results follow quickly and smoothly. A conjecture about the (discrete) limiting distribution of hills is settled in the affirmative.
