We study the distribution Q on the set B, of binary search trees over a linearly ordered set of n records under the standard random permutation model. This distribution also arises as the stationary distribution for the move-to-root (MTR) Markov chain taking values in B,, when successive requests ar
Let T be a b-ary tree of height n, which has independent, non-negative, n identically distributed random variables associated with each of its edges, a model previously considered by Karp, Pearl, McDiarmid, and Provan. The value of a node is the sum of all the edge values on its path to the root. Co
If a graph G with cycle rank p contains both spanning trees with rn and with n end-vertices, rn < n, then G has at least 2p spanning trees with k end-vertices for each integer k, rn < k < n. Moreover, the lower bound of 2p is best possible. [ l ] and Schuster [4] independently proved that such span
