Parking cars after a trailer

Combinatorics 2017-09-06 v1

Abstract

Recently, the authors extended the notion of parking functions to parking sequences, which include cars of different sizes, and proved a product formula for the number of such sequences. We here give a refinement of that result involving parking the cars after a trailer. The proof of the refinement uses a multi-parameter extension of the Abel--Rothe polynomial due to Strehl.
