The difference is that nonintersection chords have no point in common, while noncrossing chords may share an endpoint. - David W. Wilson, Jan 30, 2003 %C A054726 a(n)=number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n-2,n-2) that consist of steps (i,j), i,j nonnegative integers not both 0 and that stay strictly below the line y=x except at their endpoints. For example, a(4)=8 counts the paths with following step sequences: {(2, 2)}, {(2, 1), (0, 1)}, {(2, 0), (0, 2)}, {(2, 0), (0, 1), (0, 1)}, {(1, 0), (1, 2)}, {(1, 0), (1, 1), (0, 1)}, {(1, 0), (1, 0), (0, 2)}, {(1, 0), (1, 0), (0, 1), (0, 1)}. If the word "strictly" is replaced by "weakly", the counting sequence becomes A059435. - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Jun 07 2006 %H A054726 F.
