The Width of Galton-watson Trees
نویسنده
چکیده
It is proved that the moments of the width of Galton-Watson trees with oospring variance are asymptotically given by (p n) p mp where mp are the moments of the maximum of the local time of a standard scaled Brownian excursion. This is done by combining a weak limit theorem and a tightness estimate. The method is quite general and we state some further applications.

The Width of Galton-Watson Trees Conditioned by the Size
It is proved that the moments of the width of Galton-Watson trees of size n and with offspring variance σ2 are asymptotically given by (σ √ n)mp where mp are the moments of the maximum of the local time of a standard scaled Brownian excursion. This is done by combining a weak limit theorem and a tightness estimate. The method is quite general and we state some further applications.
متن کاملSub-gaussian Tail Bounds for the Width and Height of Conditioned Galton–watson Trees
We study the height and width of a Galton–Watson tree with offspring distribution ξ satisfying E ξ = 1, 0 < Var ξ < ∞, conditioned on having exactly n nodes. Under this conditioning, we derive sub-Gaussian tail bounds for both the width (largest number of nodes in any level) and height (greatest level containing a node); the bounds are optimal up to constant factors in the exponent. Under the s...
متن کاملA Note on Conditioned Galton-watson Trees
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the convergence in distribution of a conditioned Galton-Watson tree to Kesten’s tree. This yields elementary proofs of Kesten’s result as well as other known results on local limit of conditioned Galton-Watson trees. We then apply this condition to get new results, in the critical and sub-critical cases, on the limit in distribution of a Galton-W...
متن کاملPruning Galton-Watson Trees and Tree-valued Markov Processes
Abstract. We present a new pruning procedure on discrete trees by adding marks on the nodes of trees. This procedure allows us to construct and study a tree-valued Markov process {G(u)} by pruning Galton-Watson trees and an analogous process {G(u)} by pruning a critical or subcritical Galton-Watson tree conditioned to be infinite. Under a mild condition on offspring distributions, we show that ...
متن کاملGalton – Watson trees , random allocations and condensation : Extended abstract
We give a unified treatment of the limit, as the size tends to infinity, of random simply generated trees, including both the well-known result in the standard case of critical Galton-Watson trees and similar but less well-known results in the other cases (i.e., when no equivalent critical Galton-Watson tree exists). There is a well-defined limit in the form of an infinite random tree in all ca...
