Probabilistic behavior of asymmetric level compressed tries

چکیده
Level-Compressed (in short LC) tries were introduced by Andersson and Nilsson in 1993. They are compacted versions of tries in which, from the top down, maximal height complete subtrees are level compressed. We show that when the input consists of n independent strings with independent Bernoulli (p) bits, p 6= 1/2, then the expected depth of a typical node is in probability asymptotic to log log n log ( 1− H H−∞ ) , where H = −p log p−(1−p) log(1−p) is the Shannon entropy of the source, and H−∞ = log(1/min(p, 1− p)). The height is in probability asymptotic to log n H2 where H2 = log ( 1/(p2 + (1− p)2) ) .

Faster Searching in Tries and Quadtrees - An Analysis of Level Compression
We analyze the behavior of the level-compressed trie, LC-trie, a compact version of the standard trie data structure. Based on this analysis, we argue that level compression improves the performance of both tries and quadtrees considerably in many practical situations. In particular, we show that LC-tries can be of great use for string searching in compressed text. Both tries and quadtrees are ...
متن کاملSeismic Behavior of Asymmetric Two-Story X-braced Frames
Concentrically braced frames (CBFs) are one of the efficient lateral load resisting systems in high seismicity regions. One of the common problems with the use of concentrically braced frames is limitation in the architectural application and position of the openings. Two-story X braced frames have more advantages than other configurations of concentrically braced frames, since in many cases th...
متن کاملProbabilistic analysis of the asymmetric digital search trees
In this paper, by applying three functional operators the previous results on the (Poisson) variance of the external profile in digital search trees will be improved. We study the profile built over $n$ binary strings generated by a memoryless source with unequal probabilities of symbols and use a combinatorial approach for studying the Poissonized variance, since the probability distribution o...
متن کاملAsymmetric Behavior of Inflation in Iran: New Evidence on Inflation Persistence Using a Smooth Transition Model
T his paper investigates the asymmetric behavior of inflation. We use logistic smooth transition autoregressive (LSTAR) model to characterize the regime-switching behavior of Iran’s monthly inflation during the period May 1990 to December 2013. We find that there is a triple relationship between the inflation level, its fluctuations and persistence. The findings imply that the behavi...
متن کاملOn Time-Space Efficiency of Digital Trees with Adaptive Multi-Digit Branching∗
We consider a class of digital trees (tries) with adaptive selection of degrees of their nodes. This class includes LC-tries of Andersson and Nilsson (1993) which recursively replace all complete subtrees in the original tries with larger (multi-digit) nodes, as well as dynamic tries of Nilsson and Tikkanen (1998) which recursively replace all subtrees of bounded sparseness (a ratio of the numb...
