Catalan's trapezoids are a countable set of number trapezoids which generalize Catalan’s triangle. Catalan's trapezoid of order m = 1, 2, 3, ... is a number trapezoid whose entries (,) give the number of strings consisting of n X-s and k Y-s such that in every initial segment of the string the number of Y-s does not exceed the number of X-s by m or more.

This proof uses the triangulation definition of Catalan numbers to establish a relation between C n and C n+1. Given a polygon P with n + 2 sides and a triangulation, mark one of its sides as the base, and also orient one of its 2n + 1 total edges. There are (4n + 2)C n such marked triangulations for a given base.
This number is given by the 5th Catalan number. It is trivial to triangulate any convex polygon in linear time into a fan triangulation, by adding diagonals from one vertex to all other non-nearest neighbor vertices. The total number of ways to triangulate a convex n-gon by non-intersecting diagonals is the (n−2)nd Catalan number, which equals
The number of possible parenthesizations is given by the (n–1) th Catalan number, which is O(4 n / n 3/2), so checking each possible parenthesization (brute force) would require a run-time that is exponential in the number of matrices, which is very slow and impractical for large n. A quicker solution to this problem can be achieved by ...
The triangulation has one tetrahedron, two faces, one edge and no vertices, so all the edges of the original tetrahedron are glued together. The Gieseking manifold has a double cover homeomorphic to the figure-eight knot complement .
The number of vertices in K n+1 is the n-th Catalan number (right diagonal in the triangle). The number of facets in K n +1 (for n ≥2) is the n -th triangular number minus one (second column in the triangle), because each facet corresponds to a 2- subset of the n objects whose groupings form the Tamari lattice T n , except the 2-subset that ...
Triangulation today is used for many purposes, including surveying, navigation, metrology, astrometry, binocular vision, model rocketry and, in the military, the gun direction, the trajectory and distribution of fire power of weapons. The use of triangles to estimate distances dates to antiquity.
In geometry, a disdyakis dodecahedron, (also hexoctahedron, [1] hexakis octahedron, octakis cube, octakis hexahedron, kisrhombic dodecahedron [2]) or d48, is a Catalan solid with 48 faces and the dual to the Archimedean truncated cuboctahedron. As such it is face-transitive but with irregular face polygons.
