The maximum number of child nodes in a tree.

This map is recursively defined as follows.
The unique empty path of semilength $0$ is sent to itself.
Let $D$ be a Dyck path of semilength $n > 0$ and decompose it into $1 D_1 0 D_2$ with Dyck paths $D_1, D_2$ of respective semilengths $n_1$ and $n_2$ such that $n_1$ is minimal. One then has $n_1+n_2 = n-1$.
Now let $\tilde D_1$ and $\tilde D_2$ be the recursively defined respective images of $D_1$ and $D_2$ under this map. The image of $D$ is then defined as $1 \tilde D_2 0 \tilde D_1$.

Sends a Dyck path to the ordered tree encoding the heights of the path.
This map is recursively defined as follows: A Dyck path $D$ of semilength $n$ may be decomposed, according to its returns (St000011The number of touch points (or returns) of a Dyck path.), into smaller paths $D_1,\dots,D_k$ of respective semilengths $n_1,\dots,n_k$ (so one has $n = n_1 + \dots n_k$) each of which has no returns.
Denote by $\tilde D_i$ the path of semilength $n_i-1$ obtained from $D_i$ by removing the initial up- and the final down-step.
This map then sends $D$ to the tree $T$ having a root note with ordered children $T_1,\dots,T_k$ which are again ordered trees computed from $D_1,\dots,D_k$ respectively.
The unique path of semilength $1$ is sent to the tree consisting of a single node.
