Abstract

This paper deals with a study of the class P of lattice paths, made of north, east, south, and west unit steps, which being at (-1,0) and end at (0,0), avoiding the non-negative x-axis. P is bijectively proved to be enumerated by odd index Catalan numbers according to the number of steps.
