It is proved that the internal path length of a d-dimensional quad tree after normalization converges in distribution. The limiting distribution is characterized as a fixed point of a random affine operator. We obtain convergence of all moments and of the Laplace transforms. The moments of the limit

Multidimensional binary trees represent a symbiosis of trees and tries, and they essentially arise in the construction of search trees for multidimensional keys. The set of nodes in a d-dimensional binary tree can be partitioned into layers according to the nodes appearing in the ith dimension. We d
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
