title: A Bijection for Directed-Convex Polyominoes
keywords: cycle lemma, directed-convex polyominoes, binomial coefficients, lattice paths
abstract: In this paper we consider two classes of lattice paths on the plane which use north, east, south, and west unitary steps, beginning and ending at
(0,0)
. We enumerate them according to the number of steps by means of bijective arguments; in particular, we apply the cycle lemma. Then, using these results, we provide a bijective proof for the number of directed-convex polyominoes having a fixed number of rows and columns.

The first source gives you the `gzipped' PostScript, the second the plain PostScript and the third the format for the Adobe accrobat reader. Depending on the installation of your web browser, at least one of these should (after some amount of time) pop up a window for you that shows the full article. If this is not the case, you should contact your system administrator to install your browser correctly.

Due to limitations of your local software, the two formats may show up differently on your screen. If eg you use xpdf to visualize pdf, some of the graphics in the file may not come across. On the other hand, pdf has a capacity of giving links to sections, bibliography and external references that will not appear with PostScript.
