Tight universal bounds on the height times the width of random trees

Probability 2025-01-03 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

We obtain assumption-free, non-asymptotic, uniform bounds on the product of the height and the width of uniformly random trees with a given degree sequence, conditioned Bienaym\'e trees and simply generated trees. We show that for a tree of size nn, this product is O(nlogn)O(n \log n) in probability, answering a question by Addario-Berry (2019). The order of this bound is tight in this generality.
