The k-Cut Model in Conditioned Galton-Watson Trees

Abstract

The k-cut number of rooted graphs was introduced by Cai et al. [Cai and Holmgren, 2019] as a generalization of the classical cutting model by Meir and Moon [Meir and Moon, 1970]. In this paper, we show that all moments of the k-cut number of conditioned Galton-Watson trees converge after proper rescaling, which implies convergence in distribution to the same limit law regardless of the offspring distribution of the trees. This extends the result of Janson [Janson, 2006].

Inversions in Split Trees and Conditional Galton-Watson Trees

Abstract

We study I(T), the number of inversions in a tree T with its vertices labeled uniformly at random. We first show that the cumulants of I(T) have explicit formulas. Then we consider X_n, the normalized version of I(T_n), for a sequence of trees T_n. For fixed T_n's, we prove a sufficient condition for X_n to converge in distribution. For T_n being split trees [Devroye, 1999], we show that X_n converges to the unique solution of a distributional equation. Finally, when T_n's are conditional Galton-Watson trees, we show that X_n converges to a random variable defined in terms of Brownian excursions. Our results generalize and extend previous work by Panholzer and Seitz [Panholzer and Seitz, 2012].
