It is well known that if a function from set A to set B has a right inverse then the function is a surjection and the right inverse is an injection. For finite sets, the number of functions, injections, and surjections can also be counted.…
For a labeled, rooted tree with edges oriented towards the root, we consider the vertices as parking spots and the edge orientation as a one-way street. Each driver, starting with her preferred parking spot, searches for and parks in the…
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…
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…
When a semigroup has a unary operation, it is possible to define two binary operations, namely, left and right division. In addition it is well known that groups can be defined in terms of those two divisions. The aim of this paper is to…
Suppose that $n$ drivers each choose a preferred parking space in a linear car park with $m$ spaces. Each driver goes to the chosen space and parks there if it is free, and otherwise takes the first available space with larger number (if…
Tiered trees were introduced as a combinatorial object for counting absolutely indecomposable representation of certain quivers and torus orbit of certain homogeneous variety. In this paper, we define a bijection between the set of…
This paper deals with a bilevel approach of the location-allocation problem with dimensional facilities. We present a general model that allows us to consider very general shapes of domains for the dimensional facilities and we prove the…
We study the problem of planning routes in road networks when certain streets or areas are closed at certain times. For heavy vehicles, such areas may be very large since many European countries impose temporary driving bans during the…
The aim of this work is to extend to a general $S_m\times S_n$-module context the Grossman-Bizley paradigm that allows the enumeration of Dyck paths in a $m\times n$-rectangle. We obtain an explicit formula for the the "bi-Frobenius"…
This paper is devoted to a systematic study of a class of binary trees encoding the structure of rational numbers both from arithmetic and dynamical point of view. The paper is divided into two parts. The first one is a critical review of…
We introduce several associative algebras and series of vector spaces associated to these algebras. Using lattice vertex operators, we obtain dimension and character formulae for these spaces. In particular, we a series of representations…
Smart-parking solutions use sensors, cameras, and data analysis to improve parking efficiency and reduce traffic congestion. Computer vision-based methods have been used extensively in recent years to tackle the problem of parking lot…
A pair $(G,K)$ of a group and its subgroup is called a Gelfand pair if the induced trivial representation of $K$ on $G$ is multiplicity free. Let $(a_j)$ be a sequence of positive integers of length $n$, and let $(b_i)$ be its…
Initially a car is placed with probability p at each site of the two-dimensional integer lattice. Each car is equally likely to be East-facing or North-facing, and different sites receive independent assignments. At odd time steps, each…
A parking function of length $n$ is prime if we obtain a parking function of length $n-1$ by deleting one 1 from it. In this note we give a new direct proof that the number of prime parking functions of length $n$ is $(n-1)^{n-1}$. This…
This paper introduces a class of objects called decision rules that map infinite sequences of alternatives to a decision space. These objects can be used to model situations where a decision maker encounters alternatives in a sequence such…
An archetypal problem discussed in computer science is the problem of searching for a given number in a given set of numbers. Other than sequential search, the classic solution is to sort the list of numbers and then apply binary search.…
Microscopic modeling of multi-lane traffic is usually done by applying heuristic lane changing rules, and often with unsatisfying results. Recently, a cellular automaton model for two-lane traffic was able to overcome some of these problems…
Parking functions were classically defined for $n$ cars attempting to park on a one-way street with $n$ parking spots, where cars only drive forward. Subsequently, parking functions have been generalized in various ways, including allowing…
