Universal Limit Laws for Depths in Random Trees

  • Luc Devroye
چکیده

Random binary search trees, b-ary search trees, median-of-(2k+1) trees, quadtrees, simplex trees, tries, and digital search trees are special cases of random split trees. For these trees, we offer a universal law of large numbers and a limit law for the depth of the last inserted point, as well as a law of large numbers for the height.

Limit 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...

The Wiener Index Of Random Trees

The Wiener index is analyzed for random recursive trees and random binary search trees in the uniform probabilistic models. We obtain the expectations, asymptotics for the variances, and limit laws for this parameter. The limit distributions are characterized as the projections of bivariate measures that satisfy certain fixed-point equations. Covariances, asymptotic correlations, and bivariate ...

Limit Theorems for Sequences of Random Trees

We consider a random tree and introduce a metric in the space of trees to define the “mean tree” as the tree minimizing the average distance to the random tree. When the resulting metric space is compact we show laws of large numbers and central limit theorems for sequence of independent identically distributed random trees. As application we propose tests to check if two samples of random tree...

Novel characteristics of split trees by use of renewal theory

We investigate characteristics of random split trees introduced by Devroye [SIAM J Comput 28, 409–432, 1998]; split trees include e.g., binary search trees, m-ary search trees, quadtrees, median of (2k + 1)-trees, simplex trees, tries and digital search trees. More precisely: We use renewal theory in the studies of split trees, and use this theory to prove several results about split trees. A s...

Limit distribution of the degrees in scaled attachment random recursive trees

We study the limiting distribution of the degree of a given node in a scaled attachment random recursive tree, a generalized random recursive tree, which is introduced by Devroye et. al (2011). In a scaled attachment random recursive tree, every node $i$ is attached to the node labeled $lfloor iX_i floor$ where $X_0$, $ldots$ , $X_n$ is a sequence of i.i.d. random variables, with support in [0,...
