An Analysis of the Height of Tries with Random Weights on the Edges
We analyze the weighted height of random tries built from independent strings of i.i.d. symbols on the finite alphabet {1, . . . , d}. The edges receive random weights whose distr...

Weighted height of random trees
We consider a model of random trees similar to the split trees of Devroye [30] in which a set of items is recursively partitioned. Our model allows for more flexibility in the cho...

Universal Asymptotics for Random Tries and PATRICIA Trees
Abstract. We consider random tries and random patricia trees constructed from n independent strings of symbols drawn from any distribution on any discrete space. We show that many ...

Large Deviations for the Weighted Height of an Extended Class of Trees
We use large deviations to prove a general theorem on the asymptotic edge-weighted height Hn of a large class of random trees for which Hn c log n for some positive constant c. A...

Note on the Structure of Kruskal's Algorithm
We study the merging process when Kruskal's algorithm is run with random graphs as inputs. Our aim is to analyze this process when the underlying graph is the complete graph ...
