Motzkin numbers out of Random Domino Automaton

Abstract

Motzkin numbers are derived from a special case of Random Domino Automaton - recently proposed toy model of earthquakes. An exact solution of the set of equations describing stationary state of Random Domino Automaton in "inverse-power" case is presented. A link with Motzkin numbers allows to present explicit form of asymptotic behaviour of the automaton.Comment: short pape
