A simple and direct derivation for the number of noncrossing partitions

Abstract: Abstract. Kreweras considered the problem of counting noncrossing partitions of the set {1, 2, · · · , n}, whose elements are arranged into a cycle in its natural order, into p parts of given sizes n 1 , n 2 , · · · , np (but not specifying which part gets which size). He gave a beautiful and surprising result whose proof resorts to a recurrence relation. In this paper we give a direct, entirely bijective, proof starting from the same initial idea as Kreweras' proof.

“…where a = n j=1 α j is the total number of parts. For a simple and direct proof of this result, see Liaw, Yeh, Hwang, and Chang [10]. In our analysis, we prove various generalizations of this result where there are further restrictions on the non-crossing partitions.…”
