Original question and givens

Use natural index n=11≥0, C_0=1 and C_(n+1)=sum over i=0..n of C_i*C_(n−i). Exact BigInt coefficients and answers are retained. Do not shift to a C_1-based convention or truncate a nonintegral quotient. Give (n, recurrence_value, closed_value, difference_value, all_equal, certificate).

  • G001 — Use natural index n=11≥0, C_0=1 and C_(n+1)=sum over i=0..n of C_i*C_(n−i). Exact BigInt coefficients and answers are retained. Do not shift to a C_1-based convention or truncate a nonintegral quotient. Give (n, recurrence_value, closed_value, difference_value, all_equal, certificate).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

After

closed quotient=58786;binomial difference=58786;ALL THREE agree;balanced paths counted by choose(2n,n),bad paths first-crossing reflection counted by choose(2n,n+1)

Conditions: none

Reflect a bad balanced path through its first crossing of−1 to obtain a path with n+1 ups and n−1 downs,so good paths are the binomial difference.First-return decomposition U P D Q gives the Catalan convolution with empty-path base1,uniquely determining the same count.The adjacent-binomial ratio yields central/(n+1).This is a general argument,not extrapolation from finitely many equalities.
