Abstract

AbstractWe extend results about heights of random trees (Devroye, JACM 33 (1986) 489–498, SIAM J COMP 28 (1998) 409–432). In this paper, a general split tree model is considered in which the normalized subtree sizes of nodes converge in distribution. The height of these trees is shown to be in probability asymptotic to clog n for some constant c. We apply our results to obtain a law of large numbers for the height of all polynomial varieties of increasing trees (Bergeron et al. Lect Notes Comput Sci (1992) 24–48).© 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Random Struct. Alg., 2008
