Partial Match Queries in Two-Dimensional Quadtrees : a Probabilistic Approach

Probability 2010-09-17 v1

Abstract

We analyze the mean cost of the partial match queries in random two-dimensional quadtrees. The method is based on fragmentation theory. The convergence is guaranteed by a coupling argument of Markov chains, whereas the value of the limit is computed as the fixed point of an integral equation.
