中文版:Rényi 停车问题在线计算器
原理:Rényi 停车问题(1958):长度 x 的街道边,长度为 1 的汽车一辆接一辆在随机位置停放(车头位置均匀落于当前全部可容区间),直到再也停不下为止。期望停车数满足 Rényi 积分–微分方程:M(x) = 0(x ≤ 1),x > 1 时 M(x) = 1 + (2/(x−1))·∫₁^(x−1) M(t) dt。M(2) = 1、M(3) = 2(可精确验证)。当 x → ∞ 时 M(x)/x → λ ≈ 0.747598——即使司机关心最高效的停车,随机停放也只浪费约四分之一的空间,这与「贪心司机把每段空隙塞满」的 M(x) = ⌊x⌋ 形成鲜明对比。
步骤:输入街道长度 x,程序在步长 0.05 的网格上数值求解 Rényi 方程(x = 1 处的跳变按右极限处理),给出期望停车数与空间利用率。
示例:M(2) = 1.000000000000、M(3) = 2.000000000000;x = 5 时 M(5) ≈ 3.484875637941,利用率 ≈ 0.696975127588;极限 λ = 0.747597920253,即 1 − λ ≈ 25.24% 的空间被「停不进去」的碎片浪费。
注意事项:x 需大于 1(否则一辆车都停不下);本页网格解在 x ≤ 40 范围内精度约 0.001。真实车场中司机不会完全随机,实际利用率通常介于 λ 与 ⌊x⌋/x 之间。
相关:λ = 0.747597920253;M(2) = 1.000000000000;M(3) = 2.000000000000。
