چکیده

Consider a word in which the individual symbols are independent integers occurring with probabilities Pi. and let Hn be the height of the suffix tree constructed from the first n suffixes of this word. We show that Hn is asymptotically close to 2 log n/log(lt~pr) in many • respects: the difference is 0 (log log n) in probability, and the ratio tends to one in probability and in the mean.

Compact Suffix Trees Resemble PATRICIA Tries: Limiting Distribution of the Depth

Suffix trees are the most frequently used data structures in algorithms on words. In this paper, we consider the depth of a compact suffix tree, also known as the PAT tree, under some simple probabilistic assumptions. For a biased memoryless source, we prove that the limiting distribution for the depth in a PAT tree is the same as the limiting distribution for the depth in a PATRICIA trie, even...

The Average Profile of Suffix Trees

The internal profile of a tree structure denotes the number of internal nodes found at a specific level of the tree. Similarly, the external profile denotes the number of leaves on a level. The profile is of great interest because of its intimate connection to many other parameters of trees. For instance, the depth, fill-up level, height, path length, shortest path, and size of trees can each b...

On the Average Height of b-Balanced Ordered Trees

An ordered tree with height h is b-balanced if all its leaves have a level l with h − b <= l <= h, where at least one leaf has a level equal to h − b. For large n, we shall compute asymptotic equivalents to the number of all b-balanced ordered trees with n nodes and of all such trees with height h. Furthermore, assuming that all b-balanced ordered trees with n nodes are equally likely, we shall...

Estimating Height and Diameter Growth of Some Street Trees in Urban Green Spaces

Estimating urban trees growth, especially tree height is very important in urban landscape management. The aim of the study was to predict of tree height base on tree diameter. To achieve this goal, 921 trees from five species were measured in five areas of Mashhad city in 2014. The evaluated trees were ash tree (Fraxinus species), plane tree (Platanus hybrida), white mulberry (Morus alba), ail...

A NOTE ON THE EQUISEPARABLE TREES

Let T be a tree and n_{l}(eIT) and n_{2}(eIT) denote the number of vertices of T, lying on the two sides of the edge e. Suppose T_{l} and T_{2} are two trees with equal number of vertices, e in T_{1} and f in T_{2}. The edges e and f are said to be equiseparable if either n_{l}(eIT_{I}) = n_{l}(fIT_{2}) or n_{l}(eIT_{I}) = n_{2}(fIT_{2}). If there is an one-to-one correspondence between the ver...
