How to cross an intersection ?
[ Abstract ]
Under certain constraints, we enumerate the different ways of simultaneously crossing a road intersection with alternating entries and exits, for a maximal number of vehicles. The problem reduces to the study of various types of non-crossing partitions of {1,…,n} and gives rise to new integer sequences. Standard combinatorial methods then lead to systems of polynomial equations, in which the unknowns are the generating functions of these sequences.
