The Wiener Index of simply generated random trees

نویسنده

  • Svante Janson
چکیده

Asymptotics are obtained for the mean, variance and higher moments as well as for the distribution of the Wiener index of a random tree from a simply generated family (or, equivalently, a critical Galton– Watson tree). We also establish a joint asymptotic distribution of the Wiener index and the internal path length, as well as asymptotics for the covariance and other mixed moments. The limit laws are described using functionals of a Brownian excursion. The methods include both Aldous’ theory of the continuum random tree and analysis of generating functions.

The Wiener Index of Random Digital Trees

The Wiener index has been studied for simply generated random trees, non-plane unlabeled random trees and a huge subclass of random grid trees containing random binary search trees, random medianof-(2k+ 1) search trees, random m-ary search trees, random quadtrees, random simplex trees, etc. An important class of random grid trees for which the Wiener index was not studied so far are random digi...

On the Wiener index of random trees

By a theorem of Janson, the Wiener index of a random tree from a simply generated family of trees converges in distribution to a limit law that can be described in terms of the Brownian excursion. The family of unlabelled trees (rooted or unrooted), which is perhaps the most natural one from a graph-theoretical point of view, since isomorphisms are taken into account, is not covered directly by...

Precise Logarithmic Asymptotics for the Right Tails of Some Limit Random Variables for Random Trees

For certain random variables that arise as limits of functionals of random finite trees, we obtain precise asymptotics for the logarithm of the right-hand tail. Our results are based on the facts (i) that the random variables we study can be represented as functionals of a Brownian excursion and (ii) that a large deviation principle with good rate function is known explicitly for Brownian excur...

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 ...
