Dedicated to Professor Richard Askey on the occasion of his 65th birthday.Abstract. We study combinatorial aspects of q-weighted, length-L Forrester-Baxter paths,, and p and p ′ are co-prime.We obtain a bijection between P p,p ′ a,b,c (L) and partitions with certain prescribed hook differences. Thereby, we obtain a new description of the q-weights of P p,p ′ a,b,c (L). Using the new weights, and defining s 0 and r 0 to be the smallest non-negative integers for which |ps 0 − p ′ r 0 | = 1, we restrict the discussion to P p,p ′ s 0
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
