The likely maximum size of twin subtrees in a large random tree

Combinatorics 2024-06-06 v2

Abstract

We call a pair of vertex-disjoint, induced subtrees of a rooted trees twins if they have the same counts of vertices by out-degrees. The likely maximum size of twins in a uniformly random, rooted Cayley tree of size nn\to\infty is studied. It is shown that the expected number of twins of size (2+δ)lognloglogn(2+\delta)\sqrt{\log n\cdot\log\log n} approaches zero, while the expected number of twins of size (2δ)lognloglogn(2-\delta)\sqrt{\log n\cdot\log\log n} approaches infinity.
