β¦ Synopsis
The Narayana numbers n appear twice in Volume 31 of Discrete Mathematics: They count the ordere0 trees with n edges (i.e. n+l nodes) and k leaves [1] and the noncrossing partitions of {1 ..... n} into k blocks . (In such a partition the existence of four numbers a<b<c<d such that a and c are in one block and b and d are in another block is forbidden.) The aim of this note is to exhibit a bijection between these combinatorial objects.

This paper studies the enumerations and some interesting combinatorial properties of heap-ordered trees (HOTs). We first derive analytically the total numbers of \(n\)-node HOTs. We then show that there exists a 1-1 and onto correspondence between any two of the following four sets: the set of \((n+
