In this note we consider the enumeration of unrestricted and restricted minimal lattice paths from (0, 0) to (m, n), with the following (μ + 2) moves, μ being a positive integer. Let the line segment between two lattice points on which no other lattice point lies be called a step. A lattice path at any stage can have either (1) a vertical step denoted by S0, or (2) a diagonal step parallel to the line x = ty (t = 1,…, μ), denoted by St, or (3) a horizontal step, denoted by Sμ+1.
