Limit Laws for Local Counters in Random Binary Search Tree
نویسنده
چکیده
Limit laws for several quantities in random binary search trees that are related to the local shape of a tree around each node can be obtained very simply by applying central limit theorems for rn-dependent random variables . Examples include : the number of leaves (La ), the number of nodes with k descendants (k fixed), the number of nodes with no left child, the number of nodes with k left descendants . Some of these results can also be obtained via the theory of urn models, but the present method seems easier to apply .

Limit Laws for Sums of Functions of Subtrees of Random Binary Search Trees
We consider sums of functions of subtrees of a random binary search tree, and obtain general laws of large numbers and central limit theorems. These sums correspond to random recurrences of the quicksort type, Xn L = XIn+X ′ n−1−In+Yn, n ≥ 1, where In is uniformly distributed on {0, 1, . . . , n− 1}, Yn is a given random variable, Xk L = X ′ k for all k, and given In, XIn and X ′ n−1−In are ind...
متن کاملApplications of Stein’s Method in the Analysis of Random Binary Search Trees
Under certain conditions, sums of functions of subtrees of a random binary search tree are asymptotically normal. We show how Stein’s method can be applied to study these random trees, and survey methods for obtaining limit laws for such functions of subtrees.
متن کاملOn Binary Search Tree Recursions with Monomials as Toll Functions
We consider distributional recursions which appear in the study of random binary search trees with monomials as toll functions. This extends classical parameters as the internal path length in binary search trees. As our main results we derive asymptotic expansions for the moments of the random variables under consideration as well as limit laws and properties of the densities of the limit dist...
متن کاملLimit laws for functions of fringe trees for binary search trees and random recursive trees
We prove general limit theorems for sums of functions of subtrees of (random) binary search trees and random recursive trees. The proofs use a new version of a representation by Devroye, and Stein’s method for both normal and Poisson approximation together with certain couplings. As a consequence, we give simple new proofs of the fact that the number of fringe trees of size k = kn in the binary...
متن کاملA Study of Trie - like Structures under the Density Model
We consider random tries constructed from sequences of i .i.d . random variables with a common density f on [0,1] (i.e., paths down the tree are carved out by the bits in the binary expansions of the random variables) . The depth of insertion of a node and the height of a node are studied with respect to their limit laws and their weak and strong convergence properties . In addition, laws of th...
