There is a well-defined limit in the form of an infinite random tree in all cases; for critical Galton--Watson trees this tree is locally finite but for the other cases the random limit has exactly one node of infinite degree. The proofs use a well-known connection to a random allocation model that we call balls-in-boxes, and we prove corresponding theorems for this model. This survey paper contains many known results from many different sources, together with some new results.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-12-02T17:14:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60C50", "05C05", "60F05", "60J80" ], "keywords": [ "conditioned galton-watson trees", "simply generated trees", "condensation", "well-known result", "random allocation model" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 146, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1112.0510J" } } }
