The height of a Dyck path. The height of a Dyck path $D$ of semilength $n$ is defined as the maximal height of a peak of $D$. The height of $D$ at position $i$ is the number of up-steps minus the number of down-steps before position $i$.

The length of the partition.

The largest part of an integer partition.

We associate to a CNakayama algebra (a Nakayama algebra with a cyclic quiver) with Kupisch series $L=[c_0,c_1,...,c_{n-1}]$ such that $n=c_0 < c_i$ for all $i > 0$ a Dyck path as follows: In the list $L$ delete the first entry $c_0$ and substract from all other entries $n-1$ and then append the last element 1 (this was suggested by Christian Stump). The result is a Kupisch series of an LNakayama algebra. Example: [5,6,6,6,6] goes into [2,2,2,2,1]. Now associate to the CNakayama algebra with the above properties the Dyck path corresponding to the Kupisch series of the LNakayama algebra. The statistic return the global dimension of the CNakayama algebra divided by 2.

The Alon-Tarsi number of a graph. Let $G$ be a graph with vertices $\{1,\dots,n\}$ and edge set $E$. Let $P_G=\prod_{i < j, (i,j)\in E} x_i-x_j$ be its graph polynomial. Then the Alon-Tarsi number is the smallest number $k$ such that $P_G$ contains a monomial with exponents strictly less than $k$.

The maximal area to the right of an up step of a Dyck path.

The maximal height of a column in the parallelogram polyomino associated with a Dyck path.

The maximal arc length of a set partition. The arcs of a set partition are those $i < j$ that are consecutive elements in the blocks. If there are no arcs, the maximal arc length is $0$.

The tree-depth of a graph. The tree-depth $\operatorname{td}(G)$ of a graph $G$ whose connected components are $G_1,\ldots,G_p$ is recursively defined as $$\operatorname{td}(G)=\begin{cases} 1, & \text{if }|G|=1\\ 1 + \min_{v\in V} \operatorname{td}(G-v), & \text{if } p=1 \text{ and } |G| > 1\\ \max_{i=1}^p \operatorname{td}(G_i), & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$ Nešetřil and Ossona de Mendez [2] proved that the tree-depth of a connected graph is equal to its minimum elimination tree height and its centered chromatic number (fewest colors needed for a vertex coloring where every connected induced subgraph has a color that appears exactly once). Tree-depth is strictly greater than [[St000536|pathwidth]]. A [[St001120|longest path]] in $G$ has at least $\operatorname{td}(G)$ vertices [3].
