The inversion number of the alternating sign matrix.
If we denote the entries of the alternating sign matrix as $a_{i,j}$, the inversion number is defined as
$$\sum_{i > k}\sum_{j < \ell} a_{i,j}a_{k,\ell}.$$
When restricted to permutation matrices, this gives the usual inversion number of the permutation.

Return the Dyck path corresponding to the parallelogram polyomino obtained by applying Delest-Viennot's bijection.
Let $D$ be a Dyck path of semilength $n$. The parallelogram polyomino $\gamma(D)$ is defined as follows: let $\tilde D = d_0 d_1 \dots d_{2n+1}$ be the Dyck path obtained by prepending an up step and appending a down step to $D$. Then, the upper path of $\gamma(D)$ corresponds to the sequence of steps of $\tilde D$ with even indices, and the lower path of $\gamma(D)$ corresponds to the sequence of steps of $\tilde D$ with odd indices.
The Delest-Viennot bijection $\beta$ returns the parallelogram polyomino, whose column heights are the heights of the peaks of the Dyck path, and the intersection heights between columns are the heights of the valleys of the Dyck path.
This map returns the Dyck path $(\gamma^{(-1)}\circ\beta)(D)$.

Return the Dyck path obtained by adding an initial up and a final down step.

Return the Dyck path as an alternating sign matrix.
This is an inclusion map from Dyck words of length $2n$ to certain
$n \times n$ alternating sign matrices.
