On some discrete statistics of parking functions

Ari Cruz, Pamela E. Harris, Kimberly J. Harry +5

Recall that is a parking function if its nondecreasing rearrangement satisfies for all . In thi…

The structure and normalized volume of Monge polytopes

William Q. Erickson, Jan Kretschmann

A matrix has the Monge property if for all and . Monge matrices play an important role in combinatorial optimization; for…

Interval and -interval Rational Parking Functions

Tomás Aguilar-Fraga, Jennifer Elder, Rebecca E. Garcia +12

Interval parking functions are a generalization of parking functions in which cars have an interval preference for their parking. We generalize this definition to parking functions…

Cost-sharing in Parking Games

Jennifer Elder, Pamela E. Harris, Jan Kretschmann +1

In this paper, we study the total displacement statistic of parking functions from the perspective of cooperative game theory. We introduce parking games, which are coalitional cos…

Lucky Cars and the Quicksort Algorithm

Pamela E. Harris, Jan Kretschmann, J. Carlos Martínez Mori

Quicksort is a classical divide-and-conquer sorting algorithm. It is a comparison sort that makes an average of comparisons on an array of size ordered uniform…

The sum of all width-one tensors

William Q. Erickson, Jan Kretschmann

This paper generalizes a recent result by the authors concerning the sum of width-one matrices; in the present work, we consider width-one tensors of arbitrary dimensions. A tensor…

Parking functions, Fubini rankings, and Boolean intervals in the weak order of

Jennifer Elder, Pamela E. Harris, Jan Kretschmann +1

Let denote the symmetric group and let denote the weak order of . Through a surprising connection to a subset of parking functi…

The sum of all width-one matrices

William Q. Erickson, Jan Kretschmann

A nonnegative integer matrix is said to be width-one if its nonzero entries lie along a path consisting of steps to the south and to the east. These matrices are important in optim…

Counting Parking Sequences and Parking Assortments Through Permutations

Spencer J. Franks, Pamela E. Harris, Kimberly Harry +2

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 pref…
