Abstract

In this paper, let Pn,n+k;n+k\mathcal{P}_{n,n+k;\leq n+k} (resp. Pn;s\mathcal{P}_{n;\leq s}) denote the set of parking functions α=(a1,...,an)\alpha=(a_1,...,a_n) of length nn with n+kn+k (respe. nn)parking spaces satisfying 1ain+k1\leq a_i\leq n+k (resp. 1ais1\leq a_i\leq s) for all ii. Let pn,n+k;n+k=Pn,n+k;n+kp_{n,n+k;\leq n+k}=|\mathcal{P}_{n,n+k;\leq n+k}| and pn;s=Pn;sp_{n;\leq s}=|\mathcal{P}_{n;\leq s}|. Let Pn;sl\mathcal{P}_{n;\leq s}^l denote the set of parking functions α=(a1,...,an)Pn;s\alpha=(a_1,...,a_n)\in\mathcal{P}_{n;\leq s} such that a1=la_1=l and pn;sl=Pn;slp_{n;\leq s}^l=|\mathcal{P}_{n;\leq s}^l|. We derive some formulas and recurrence relations for the sequences pn,n+k;n+kp_{n,n+k;\leq n+k}, pn;sp_{n;\leq s} and pn;slp_{n;\leq s}^l and give the generating functions for these sequences. We also study the asymptotic behavior for these sequences.
