Let's apply the
condensation theorem 2
to our Snakes. Consider the substitution, from the triple (A,B,AB)
to (A,ABA,AB).
We have to prove that W(ABA)*W(B) = W(A)^2*z^(nb/2+2)*y^(wb)*x^(hb)
+ W(AB)^2
First rotate the bottom AB in the ABA snake, which is symmetric and then
choose a,b,c,d:
Now we use the theorem:
Therefore ,
W(B) * W(AB) * (x^2+y^2+z^2) * W(A)^3 * x * y = W(ABA) * W(B)
* W(A)^2 * x * y + W(A)^2 * W(B)^2 * z^(na/2+2)*y^(wa+1)*x^(ha+1)
We just have to cancel W(B) * W(A)^2 * x * y on both sides, to
get:
W(AB) * W(A) * (x^2+y^2+z^2) = W(ABA)
+ W(B) * z^(na/2+2)*y^(wa)*x^(ha)
