Central Limit Theorems for Additive Tree Parameters
نویسنده
چکیده
We call a tree parameter additive if it can be determined recursively as the sum of the parameter values of all branches, plus a certain toll function. In this paper, we prove central limit theorems for very general toll functions, provided that they are bounded and small on average. Simply generated families of trees are considered as well as Pólya trees, recursive trees and binary search trees, and the results are illustrated by several examples of parameters for which we prove normal or log-normal limit laws.

A General Central Limit Theorem for Shape Parameters of $m$-ary Tries and PATRICIA Tries
Tries and PATRICIA tries are fundamental data structures in computer science with numerous applications. In a recent paper, a general framework for obtaining the mean and variance of additive shape parameters of tries and PATRICIA tries under the Bernoulli model was proposed. In this note, we show that a slight modification of this framework yields a central limit theorem for shape parameters, ...
متن کاملLimit theorems for additive functionals of stationary fields, under integrability assumptions on the higher order spectral densities
We obtain central limit theorems for additive functionals of stationary fields under integrability conditions on the higher-order spectral densities. The proofs are based on the Hölder-Young-Brascamp-Lieb inequality. AMS 2000 Classification: 60F05, 62M10, 60G15, 62M15, 60G10, 60G60
متن کاملLarge Deviations of Combinatorial Distributions I: Central Limit Theorems
We prove a general central limit theorem for probabilities of large deviations for sequences of random variables satisfying certain natural analytic conditions. This theorem has wide applications to combinatorial structures and to the distribution of additive arithmetical functions. The method of proof is an extension of Kubilius’ version of Cramér’s classical method based on analytic moment ge...
متن کاملCentral Limit Theorems under additive deformations.
Additive deformations of statistical systems arise in various areas of physics. Classical central limit theory is then no longer applicable, even when standard independence assumptions are preserved. This paper investigates ways in which deformed algebraic operations lead to distinctive central limit theory. We establish some general central limit results that are applicable to a range of examp...
متن کاملRates of Convergence for Quasi-Additive Smooth Euclidean Functionals and Application to Combinatorial Optimization Problems
Rates of convergence of limit theorems are established for a class of random processes called here quasi-additive smooth Euclidean functionals. Examples include the objective functions of the traveling salesman problem, the Steiner tree problem, the minimumspanning tree problem, the minimumweight matching problem, and a variant of the minimum spanning tree problem with power weighted edges.
