A functional limit theorem for the profile of $b$-ary trees

Eva-Maria Schopp

Published 2010-10-15Version 1

In this paper we prove a functional limit theorem for the weighted profile of a $b$-ary tree. For the proof we use classical martingales connected to branching Markov processes and a generalized version of the profile-polynomial martingale. By embedding, choosing weights and a branch factor in a right way, we finally rediscover the profiles of some well-known discrete time trees.
