In a randomly grown binary search tree BST of size n, any fixed pattern occurs with a frequency that is on average proportional to n. Deviations from the average case are highly unlikely and well quantified by a Gaussian law. Trees with forbidden patterns occur with an exponentially small probabilit
We give a new recursion formula for the number of convex polyominoes with fixed perimeter. From this we derive a bijection between an interval of natural numbers and the polyominoes of given perimeter. This provides a possibility to generate such polyominoes at random in polynomial time. Our method
