Linear recurrences for cylindrical networks
Abstract
We prove a general theorem that gives a linear recurrence for tuples of paths in every cylindrical network. This can be seen as a cylindrical analog of the Lindstr\"om-Gessel-Viennot theorem. We illustrate the result by applying it to Schur functions, plane partitions, and domino tilings.
