A field deterministic model of the vehicular dynamics in a generic urban street canyon with two neighboring canyons is considered. The assumed hydrodynamical model of vehicular movement is coupled to the gasdynamical model of the air and…

The displacement of a car with respect to a parking function is the number of spots it must drive past its preferred spot in order to park. An $\ell$-interval parking function is one in which each car has displacement at most $\ell$. Among…

Parking sequences (a generalization of parking functions) are defined by specifying car lengths and requiring that a car attempts to park in the first available spot after its preference. If it does not fit there, then a collision occurs…

We introduce parking assortments, a generalization of parking functions with cars of assorted lengths. In this setting, there are $n\in\mathbb{N}$ cars of lengths $\mathbf{y}=(y_1,y_2,\ldots,y_n)\in\mathbb{N}^n$ entering a one-way street…

We introduce a cycle-expansion (fully deterministic) technique to compute the asymptotic behavior of arbitrary order transport moments. The theory is applied to different kinds of one-dimensional intermittent maps, and Lorentz gas with…

We examine a class of stochastic differential inclusions involving multiscale effects designed to solve a class of generalized variational inequalities. This class of problems contains constrained convex non-smooth optimization problems,…

In many large metropolitan areas, cars cruising for parking significantly contribute to congestion and pollution. At the same time, parking restrictions are contemplated to encourage the use of greener transport alternatives. We give a…

Parking pressure has been steadily increasing in cities as well as in university and corporate campuses. To relieve this pressure, this paper studies a car-pooling platform that would match riders and drivers, while guaranteeing a ride back…

The $n$-body problem with a purely repulsive Coulomb interaction is considered. It is shown that for large times $t$ the distance between any two particles grows linearly in $t$. The trajectory of each particle is asymptotically a straight…

In the coupon collector problem with $n$ items, the collector needs a random number of tries $T_n\simeq n\ln n$ to complete the collection. Also, after $nt$ tries, the collector has secured approximately a fraction…

Parking is a necessary component of traditional last-mile delivery practices, but finding parking can be difficult. Yet, the routing literature largely does not account for the need to find parking. In this paper, we address this challenge…
