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 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
