We give a survey of some of the current literature concerning parking functions and focus on their interaction with other combinatorial objects; namely noncrossing partitions, hyperplane arrangements and tree inversions. In the final chapter, we discuss generalizations of both parking functions and the above structures.application/pdf609408 bytesapplication/pdfenCopyright: 2001, Rattan, Amarpreet.
