چکیده

This extended abstract is dedicated to the analysis of the height of non-plane unlabelled rooted binary trees. The height of such a tree chosen uniformly among those of size n is proved to have a limiting theta distribution, both in a central and local sense. Moderate as well as large deviations estimates are also derived. The proofs rely on the analysis (in the complex plane) of generating functions associated with trees of bounded height.

The distribution of height and diameter in random non-plane binary trees

This study is dedicated to precise distributional analyses of the height of non-plane unlabelled binary trees (“Otter trees”), when trees of a given size are taken with equal likelihood. The height of a rooted tree of size n is proved to admit a limiting theta distribution, both in a central and local sense, and obey moderate as well as large deviations estimates. The approximations obtained fo...

On Random Binary Trees

A widely used class of binary trees is studied in order to provide information useful in evaluating algorithms based on this storage structure. A closed form counting formula for the number of binary trees with n nodes and height k is developed and restated as a recursion more useful computationally . A generating function for the number of nodes given height is developed and used to find the a...
