In other words, we consider dissections of an (sn+2)-gon into pieces which can be further subdivided into (s+2)-gons. This formula generalizes the formulas for classical numbers of polygon dissections: Euler-Catalan number, Fuss number and Kirkman-Cayley number. Our proof is elementary and does not use the method of generating functions.9 pages, 4 figuresCombinatorics05APolygon dissections and Euler, Fuss, Kirkman and Cayley numberstext
