Renewal theory in analysis of tries and strings

Data Structures and Algorithms 2009-12-14 v1 Probability

Abstract

We give a survey of a number of simple applications of renewal theory to problems on random strings and tries: insertion depth, size, insertion mode and imbalance of tries; variations for b-tries and Patricia tries; Khodak and Tunstall codes.
