چکیده
We consider random tries constructedfrom n i.i.d. séquences of independent Bernoulli (p) random variables, 0 < p < 1. We study the Horton-Strahler number Hn, and show that ëmin(p,l-p) in probability as n —*• oo.

A Note on the Horton-Strahler Number for Random Trees
We consider the Horton-Strahler number S, for random equiprobable binary trees with n nodes. We give a simple probabilistic proof of the well-known result that ES, = log,n + O(1) and show that for every x > 0, P{ 1 S, log,n ( > x} Q D/4x, for some constant D > 0.
متن کاملNumerical Approach to Central Limit Theorem for Bifurcation Ratio of Random Binary Tree
A central limit theorem for binary tree is numerically examined. Two types of central limit theorem for higher-order branches are formulated. A topological structure of a binary tree is expressed by a binary sequence, and the Horton-Strahler indices are calculated by using the sequence. By fitting the Gaussian distribution function to our numerical data, the values of variances are determined a...
متن کاملA Brief History of Strahler Numbers — with a Preface
The Strahler number or Horton-Strahler number of a tree, originally introduced in geophysics, has a surprisingly rich theory. We sketch some milestones in its history, and its connection to arithmetic expressions, graph traversing, decision problems for context-free languages, Parikh’s theorem, and Newton’s procedure for approximating zeros of differentiable functions.

متن کاملHierarchical Ordering of Reticular Networks
The structure of hierarchical networks in biological and physical systems has long been characterized using the Horton-Strahler ordering scheme. The scheme assigns an integer order to each edge in the network based on the topology of branching such that the order increases from distal parts of the network (e.g., mountain streams or capillaries) to the "root" of the network (e.g., the river outl...
