A Functional Limit Theorem for the Profile of Search Trees by Michael Drmota,1 Svante Janson

We study the profile Xn,k of random search trees including binary search trees and m-ary search trees. Our main result is a functional limit theorem of the normalized profile Xn,k/EXn,k for k = α logn in a certain range of α. A central feature of the proof is the use of the contraction method to prove convergence in distribution of certain random analytic functions in a complex domain. This is ...
