Counting paths in perfect trees

نویسنده

  • Peter J. Humphries
چکیده

We present some exact expressions for the number of paths of a given length in a perfect $m$-ary tree. We first count the paths in perfect rooted $m$-ary trees and then use the results to determine the number of paths in perfect unrooted $m$-ary trees, extending a known result for binary trees.

Stochastic Enumeration Method for Counting Trees

The problem of estimating the size of a backtrack tree is an important but hard problem in computational sciences. An efficient solution of this problem can have a major impact on the hierarchy of complexity classes. The first randomized procedure, which repeatedly generates random paths through the tree, was introduced by Knuth. Unfortunately, as was noted by Knuth and a few other researchers,...

Counting Lattice Paths

Counting lattice paths Maciej Dziemiańczuk A lattice path is a finite sequence of points p0, p1, . . . , pn in Z × Z, and a step of the path is the difference between two of its consecutive points, i.e., pi−pi−1. In this thesis, we consider lattice paths running between two fixed points and for which the set of allowable steps contains the vertical step (0,−1) and some number (possibly infinite...

Counting in Trees along Multidirectional Regular Paths

We propose a tree logic capable of expressing simple cardinality constraints on the number of nodes selected by an arbitrarily deep regular path with backward navigation. Specifically, a sublogic of the alternation-free μ−calculus with converse for finite trees is extended with a counting operator in order to reason on the cardinality of node sets. Also, we developed a bottom-up tableau-based s...

PERFECT MATCHINGS AND k-DECOMPOSABILITY OF INCREASING TREES

A tree is called k-decomposable if it has a spanning forest whose components are all of size k. In this paper, we study the number of k-decomposable trees in families of increasing trees, i.e. labeled trees in which the unique path from the root to an arbitrary vertex forms an increasing sequence. Functional equations for the corresponding counting series are provided, yielding asymptotic or ev...
