Catalan recurrence

111 Views Asked by At

Show directly that the number of configurations in the following problem satisfies the Catalan recurrence

  • Sequences $(h_0,\dots , h_{2n})$ of $2n + 1$ non-negative integers $h_i$ such that $h_0 = h_{2n} = 0$ and $h_{i±1} = h_i ± 1$.

I am genuinely lost on this question and would like some tips if possible?
