We study some essential arithmetic properties of a new tree-based number representation, {\em hereditarily binary numbers}, defined by applying recursively run-length encoding of bijective base-2 digits. Our representation expresses giant…
When considering the number of subtrees of trees, the extremal structures which maximize this number among binary trees and trees with a given maximum degree lead to some interesting facts that correlate to other graphical indices in…
A binary string representation of prime occurrences is a sequence of bits, where $1$ entries encode positions of prime numbers. This is a convenient representation for analysis of prime distribution, since it allows for application of a…
Considering a random binary tree with $n$ labelled leaves, we use a pruning procedure on this tree in order to construct a $\beta(3/2,1/2)$-coalescent process. We also use the continuous analogue of this construction, i.e. a pruning…
This paper presents a new kind of self-balancing ternary search trie that uses a randomized balancing strategy adapted from Aragon and Seidel's randomized binary search trees ("treaps"). After any sequence of insertions and deletions of…
The main goal of this paper is to provide an algorithm for the random sampling of Butcher trees and the probabilistic numerical solution of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). This approach complements and simplifies a recent approach…
We present some exact expressions for the number of paths of a given length in a perfect $m$-ary tree. We first count the paths in perfect rooted $m$-ary trees and then use the results to determine the number of paths in perfect unrooted…
We build a theory of binary trees on finite multisets that categorifies, or operationalizes, the entropy of a finite probability distribution. Multisets operationalize probabilities as the event outcomes of an experiment. Huffman trees…
Phylogenetic networks generalize phylogenetic trees by allowing the modelization of events of reticulate evolution. Among the different kinds of phylogenetic networks that have been proposed in the literature, the subclass of binary…
We investigate the number of permutations that occur in random labellings of trees. This is a generalisation of the number of subpermutations occurring in a random permutation. It also generalises some recent results on the number of…
Working with generating functions, the combinatorics of a recurrence relation can be expressed in a way that allows for more efficient calculation of the quantity. This is true of the Catalan numbers for an ordered binary tree…
The distribution of a given sequence in the set of all sequences with n ones and m = M - n zeros are found by relating the problem to the partitions of a natural number in m natural summands, taking into account the order. The formulas…
An M-sequence generated by a primitive polynomial has many interesting and desirable properties. A pseudo-random array is the two-dimensional generalization of an M-sequence. There are non-primitive polynomials all of whose non-zero…
The problem of random number generation dates back to von Neumann's work in 1951. Since then, many algorithms have been developed for generating unbiased bits from complex correlated sources as well as for generating arbitrary distributions…
In analogy to other concepts of a similar nature, we define the inducibility of a rooted binary tree. Given a fixed rooted binary tree $B$ with $k$ leaves, we let $\gamma(B,T)$ be the proportion of all subsets of $k$ leaves in $T$ that…
This paper presents a twist to the generation of binary random sequences by starting with decimal sequences. Rather than representing the prime reciprocal sequence directly in base 2, we first right the prime reciprocal in base 10 and then…
Any Boolean function corresponds with a complete full binary decision tree. This tree can in turn be represented in a maximally compact form as a direct acyclic graph where common subtrees are factored and shared, keeping only one copy of…
We study a model of random binary trees grown "by the leaves" in the style of Luczak and Winkler. If $\tau_n$ is a uniform plane binary tree of size $n$, Luczak and Winkler, and later explicitly Caraceni and Stauffer, constructed a measure…
We study the problem of extracting randomness from somewhere-random sources, and related combinatorial phenomena: partition analogues of Shearer's lemma on projections. A somewhere-random source is a tuple $(X_1, \ldots, X_t)$ of (possibly…
Computing and storing probabilities is a hard problem as soon as one has to deal with complex distributions over multiple random variables. The problem of efficient representation of probability distributions is central in term of…
