Abstract
A recursive function on a tree is a function in which each leaf has a given value, and each internal node has a value equal to a function of the number of children, the values of the children, and possibly an explicitly specified random element . The value of the root is the key quantity of interest in general. In this first study, all node values and function values are in a finite set . In this note, we describe the limit behavior when the leaf values are drawn independently from a fixed distribution on , and the tree is a random Galton--Watson tree of size .
