Figure 4.
Cartoon of overlap parking. The central exclusion zone of a clone of length (1 − φ)L, shaded gray in the figure, may not overlap any other exclusion zone. Clones a and boverlap to the maximum possible extent, φL. The gap between clones b and c is the smallest gap that still allows for an additional clone to fit. However, the probability of a clone randomly being placed in this gap in any finite interval of time is zero. A single clone can fit with room to spare between clonesc and d.
