Riordan lattice paths counted by area
We study Riordan paths enumerated by the area between the path and the axis. We show that the generating function satisfies a $q$-Riccati equation and can be written in a closed form as a ratio of basic hypergeometric series. The auxiliary series admits an algebraic representation as the motivic generating series of a symmetric two-node quiver. We obtain explicit formulas for the coefficients, the exponential asymptotics of the number of paths of given area, and a linear recurrence whose coefficients are signed counts of partitions into distinct parts. For a random path of area $n$ we obtain…
