A generalized x-parking function associated to a positive integer vector of the form (a,b,b,...,b) is a sequence (a"1,a"2,...,a"n) of positive integers whose nondecreasing rearrangement b"[email protected]?b"[email protected][email protected]?b"n satisfies b"[email protected]?a+(i-1)b. The set of x-parking functions has the same cardinality as the set of sequences of rooted b-forests on [n]. We construct a bijection between these two sets. We show that the sum enumerator of complements of x-parking functions is identical to the inversion enumerator of sequences of rooted b-forests by generating function analysis. Combinatorial correspondences between the sequences of rooted forests and x-parking functions are also given in terms of depth-first search and breadth-first search on multicolored graphs.
