In parking problems, a given number of cars enter a one-way street sequentially, and try to park according to a specified preferred spot in the street. Various models are possible depending on the chosen rule for collisions, when two cars…
The cluster complex on one hand, parking functions on the other hand, are two combinatorial (po)sets that can be associated to a finite real reflection group. Cluster parking functions are obtained by taking an appropriate fiber product…
Catalan numbers $C(n)=\frac{1}{n+1}{2n\choose n}$ enumerate binary trees and Dyck paths. The distribution of paths with respect to their number $k$ of factors is given by ballot numbers $B(n,k)=\frac{n-k}{n+k}{n+k\choose n}$. These integers…
Models of parking in which cars are placed randomly and then move according to a deterministic rule have been studied since the work of Konheim and Weiss in the 1960s. Recently, Damron, Gravner, Junge, Lyu, and Sivakoff introduced a model…
We study two fringe subtree counting statistics, the number of cherries and that of pitchforks for Ford's $\alpha$ model, a one-parameter family of random phylogenetic tree models that includes the uniform and the Yule models, two tree…

Classical parking functions can be defined in terms of drivers with preferred parking spaces searching a linear parking lot for an open parking spot. We may consider this linear parking lot as a collection of $n$ vertices (parking spots)…
Parking problems derive from works in combinatorics by Konheim and Weiss in the 1960s. In a memorable contribution, Lackner and Panholzer (2016) studied parking on a random tree and established a phase transition for this process when \(m…
The problem of how to estimate diffusion on a graph effectively is of importance both theoretically and practically. In this paper, we make use of two widely studied indices, geodesic distance and mean first-passage time ($MFPT$) for random…
We investigate the statistics of trees grown from some initial tree by attaching links to preexisting vertices, with attachment probabilities depending only on the valence of these vertices. We consider the asymptotic mass distribution that…
Consider a supercritical Bienaym\'e--Galton--Watson tree $ \mathcal{T}$ with geometric offspring distribution. Each vertex of this tree represents a parking spot which can accommodate at most one car. On the top of this tree, we add $(A_u :…
We study lucky cars in subsets of parking functions, called Fubini rankings and unit Fubini rankings. A Fubini ranking is a sequence of nonnegative integers that encodes a valid ranking of competitors, where ties are allowed. A car (or…
We consider random binary trees that appear as the output of certain standard algorithms for sorting and searching if the input is random. We introduce the subtree size metric on search trees and show that the resulting metric spaces…
Galaxies and clusters distributions show two major properties: (i) the positions of galaxies and clusters are characterized by a power law distribution indicating properties with respect to their positions. (ii) The distribution of masses…
Recall that $\alpha=(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n)\in[n]^n$ is a parking function if its nondecreasing rearrangement $\beta=(b_1,b_2,\ldots,b_n)$ satisfies $b_i\leq i$ for all $1\leq i\leq n$. In this article, we study parking functions based on…
The recursive and hierarchical structure of full rooted trees is applicable to represent statistical models in various areas, such as data compression, image processing, and machine learning. In most of these cases, the full rooted tree is…
For a finite Coxeter group $W$, Josuat-Verg\`es derived a $q$-polynomial counting the maximal chains in the lattice of noncrossing partitions of $W$ by weighting some of the covering relations, which we call bad edges, in these chains with…
We study the size of the automorphism group of two different types of random trees: Galton--Watson trees and rooted P\'olya trees. In both cases, we prove that it asymptotically follows a log-normal distribution and provide asymptotic…
Pairwise ordered tree alignment are combinatorial objects that appear in RNA secondary structure comparison. However, the usual representation of tree alignments as supertrees is ambiguous, i.e. two distinct supertrees may induce identical…
We study the kinetics of competitive random sequential adsorption (RSA) of particles of binary mixture of points and fixed-sized particles within the mean-field approach. The present work is a generalization of the random car parking…
