Profiles of random trees: plane-oriented recursive trees1
نویسنده
چکیده
We derive several limit results for the profile of random plane-oriented recursive trees. These include the limit distribution of the normalized profile, asymptotic bimodality of the variance, asymptotic approximation to the expected width and the correlation coefficients of two level sizes. Most of our proofs are based on a method of moments. We also discover an unexpected connection between the profile of plane-oriented recursive trees (with logarithmic height) and that of random binary trees (with height proportional to the square root of tree size).

متن کاملOn the first variable Zagreb index
The first variable Zagreb index of graph $G$ is defined as begin{eqnarray*} M_{1,lambda}(G)=sum_{vin V(G)}d(v)^{2lambda}, end{eqnarray*} where $lambda$ is a real number and $d(v)$ is the degree of vertex $v$. In this paper, some upper and lower bounds for the distribution function and expected value of this index in random increasing trees (rec...
متن کاملLimit Theorems for Subtree Size Profiles of Increasing Trees
Simple families of increasing trees have been introduced by Bergeron, Flajolet and Salvy. They include random binary search trees, random recursive trees and random plane-oriented recursive trees (PORTs) as important special cases. In this paper, we investigate the number of subtrees of size k on the fringe of some classes of increasing trees, namely generalized PORTs and d-ary increasing trees...
متن کاملLimit theorems for depths and distances in weighted random b-ary recursive trees
Limit theorems are established for some functionals of the distances between two nodes in weighted random b-ary recursive trees. We consider the depth of the nth node and of a random node, the distance between two random nodes, the internal path length and the Wiener index. As application these limit results imply by an imbedding argument corresponding limit theorems for further classes of rand...
