In this work we show that the number of horizontal steps in a Motzkin word of length n, drawn at random under uniform distribution, has a Gaussian limit distribution. We also prove a local limit property for the same random variable which stresses its periodic behaviour. Similar results are obtained for the number of peaks in a word of given length drawn at random from the same language.

Abstract

In this work we show that the number of horizontal steps in a Motzkin word of length n, drawn at random under uniform distribution, has a Gaussian limit distribution. We also prove a local limit property for the same random variable which stresses its periodic behaviour. Similar results are obtained for the number of peaks in a word of given length drawn at random from the same language.
