A symmetry on weakly increasing trees and multiset Schett polynomials.

By considering the parity of the degrees and levels of nodes in increasing trees, a new combinatorial interpretation for the coefficients of the Taylor expansions of the Jacobi elliptic functions is found. As one application of this new interpretation, a conjecture of Ma-Mansour-Wang-Yeh is solved. Unifying the concepts of increasing trees and plane trees, Lin-Ma-Ma-Zhou introduced weakly increasing trees on a multiset. A symmetry joint distribution of "even-degree nodes on odd levels" and "odd-degree nodes" on weakly increasing trees is found, extending the Jacobi elliptic functions to multisets. A combinatorial proof and an algebraic proof of this symmetry are provided, as well as several relevant interesting consequences.
