A concentration inequality for the maximum vertex degree in random dissections

Probability 2022-04-05 v1

Abstract

We obtain a concentration inequality for the maximum degree of a vertex in a uniformly random dissection of a polygon. This resolves a conjecture posed by Curien and Kortchemski in 2012. Our approach is based on a bijection with dual trees and the tools of analytic combinatorics.
