Restricted Fubini Rankings and Restricted Unit Interval Parking Functions

Abstract: We study three natural types of restrictions on Fubini rankings and unit interval parking functions, which are motivated by their correspondence with ordered set partitions. For each restriction type, we define the corresponding subset of Fubini rankings and unit interval parking functions, establish enumerative results, and provide bijections between the restricted families. We also obtain exponential generating functions and combinatorial interpretations, including connections with exceedances in permutations and with the absence of cyclical adjacencies in set partitions.
