Ben-Hur Staircase Climbs
Dodge, John; Simoson, Andrew
College Mathematics Journal, v43 n4 p274-284 Sep 2012
How many ways may one climb an even number of stairs so that left and right legs are exercised equally, that is, both legs take the same number of strides, take the same number of total stairs, and take strides of either 1 or 2 stairs at a time? We characterize the solution with a difference equation and find its generating function.
