%0 Journal Article %T A weighted interpretation for the super Catalan numbers %A Emily Allen %A Irina Gheorghiciuc %J Mathematics %D 2014 %I arXiv %X The super Catalan numbers $T(m,n)=(2m)!(2n)!/2m!n!(m+n)!$ are integers which generalize the Catalan numbers. With the exception of a few values of $m$, no combinatorial interpretation in known for $T(m,n)$. We give a weighted interpretation for $T(m,n)$ and develop a technique that converts this weighted interpretation into a conventional combinatorial interpretation in the case $m=2$. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1403.5246v2
