Copy-paste Trees and Their Growth Rates

چکیده
In this paper, we describe a copy-and-paste method for constructing a class of infinite self-similar trees. A copy-paste tree is constructed by repeatedly attaching copies of a finite tree (called a generator) to certain designated attachment vertices. We show that each generator has an associated nonnegative matrix which can be used to determine a formula for the growth function of the copy-paste tree. In our main theorem, we use results from Perron-Frobenius theory to show that every copy-paste tree has exponential growth with growth rate equal to the spectral radius of its associated matrix.

Transition Trees and Their Growth Rates
In this paper we define a class of infinite rooted trees called transition trees for which the growth function can be calculated using powers of a nonnegative matrix. We show that if this matrix is primitive, has spectral radius greater than 1, and does not have 1 as an eigenvalue, then the tree has exponential growth and the growth rate is the spectral radius of the matrix. We also describe a ...
متن کاملBAOBAB: a Java editor for large phylogenetic trees
SUMMARY BAOBAB is a Java user interface dedicated to viewing and editing large phylogenetic trees. Original features include: (i) a colour-mediated overview of magnified subtrees; (ii) copy/cut/paste of (sub)trees within or between windows; (iii) compressing/ uncompressing subtrees; and (iv) managing sequence files together with tree files.

متن کاملA Copy-and-Paste Model for Provenance in Curated Databases
Provenance is information describing the origin, construction, location, ownership, or other aspects of the history of an object. Previous work on provenance has concentrated on an understanding of how provenance is described when the data of interest has been derived by queries from other data sources, as is the case in data warehouses. In this paper we focus on another important class of data...
متن کاملAn Incremental Editor for Dynamic Hierarchical Drawing of Trees
We present an incremental tree editor based on algorithms for manipulating shape functions. The tree layout is hierarchical, left-to-right. Nodes of variable size and shape are supported. The paper presents algorithms for basic tree editing operations, including cut and paste. The layout algorithm for positioning child-subtrees rooted at a given parent is incrementally recomputed with each edit...
متن کاملStereoscopic 3D copy & paste
With the increase in popularity of stereoscopic 3D imagery for film, TV, and interactive entertainment, an urgent need for editing tools to support stereo content creation has become apparent. In this paper we present an end-to-end system for object copy & paste in a stereoscopic setting to address this need. There is no straightforward extension of 2D copy & paste to support the addition of th...
