Placing the uniform probability measure on the set of parking functions on $[n]$ induces a probability measure on $S_n$. We initiate a study of some properties of this distribution.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-04-17T16:22:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60C05", "05A05" ], "keywords": [ "random parking function", "distribution", "permutation", "uniform probability measure", "cars appear" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
