Title
Profiles of random trees: Plane-oriented recursive trees
Abstract
We derive several limit results for the profile of random plane-oriented recursive trees. These include the limit distribution of the normalized profile, asymptotic bimodality of the variance, asymptotic approximation to the expected width, and the correlation coefficients of two level sizes. Most of our proofs are based on a method of moments. We also discover an unexpected connection between the profile of plane-oriented recursive trees (with logarithmic height) and that of random binary trees (with height proportional to the square root of tree size). © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
