An increasing tree is a labelled rooted tree in which labels along any branch from the root go in increasing order. Under various guises, such trees have surfaced as tree representations of permutations, as data structures in computer science, and as probabilistic models in diverse applications. We present a uniied generating function approach to the enumeration of parameters on such trees. The...

Simple families of increasing trees can be constructed from simply generated tree families, if one considers for every tree of size n all its increasing labellings, i. e. labellings of the nodes by distinct integers of the set {1, . . . , n} in such a way that each sequence of labels along any branch starting at the root is increasing. Three such tree families are of particular interest: recurs...

Let Ln be the length of a longest increasing subsequence in a random permutation of {1, ..., n}. It is known that the expected value of Ln is asymptotically equal to 2 √ n as n gets large. This note derives upper bound on the probability that Ln − 2 √ n exceeds certain quantities. In particular, we prove that Ln − 2 √ n has order at most n1/6 with high probability. Our main result is an isoperi...

Abstract. Simple families of increasing trees can be constructed from simply generated tree families, if one considers for every tree of size n all its increasing labellings, i. e. labellings of the nodes by distinct integers of the set {1, . . . , n} in such a way that each sequence of labels along any branch starting at the root is increasing. Three such tree families are of particular intere...

Complementing the results claiming that the maximal length L n of an increasing subsequence in a random permutation of f1; 2; : : : ; ng is highly concentrated, we show that L n is not concentrated in a short interval: sup l P(l L n l + n 1=16 log ?3=8 n) ! 0 as n ! 1.

We consider the distribution of the length of the longest subsequence avoiding an arbitrary pattern, π, in a random permutation of length n. The well-studied case of a longest increasing subsequence corresponds to π = 21. We show that there is some constant cπ such that as n → ∞ the mean value of this length is asymptotic to 2 √ cπn and that the distribution of the length is tightly concentrate...
