A commodity (chips\, sand\, dollars) is exchanged between sites of a network according to simple local rules. Although governed by local rules\, the long-term global behavior of the system reveals unexpected properties\, including intricate fractal-like patterns. In this talk\, I will give a broad survey of the theory of chip-firing\, highlighting both classical results and recent advances.

Our work is motivated by two different research questions posed to us by Dr. Ken Fan and Dr. Shanise Walker. First\, we reframe Dr. Fan’s probabilistic question in terms of defective parking functions\, which enumerate the number of cars unable to park in the classical parking function problem\, thereby providing a partial answer to his question. Second\, we answer Dr. Walker’s question establishing a bijection between unit interval parking functions and the Fubini rankings\, which get their name as they are enumerated by the Fubini numbers.
