On the Horton-Strahler Number for Combinatorial Tries

Markus E. Nebel (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

In this paper we investigate the average Horton-Strahler number of all possible tree-structures of binary tries. For that purpose we consider a generalization of extended binary trees where leaves are distinguished in order to represent the location of keys within a corresponding trie. Assuming a uniform distribution for those trees we prove that the expected Horton-Strahler number of a tree with α internal nodes and β leaves that correspond to a key is asymptotically given by 4 2 β - α log ( α ) ( 2 β - 1 ) ( α + 1 ) ( α + 2 ) 2 α + 1 α - 1 8 π α 3 / 2 log ( 2 ) ( β - 1 ) β 2 β β 2 provided that α...
