Suppose that each tree in $\\mathcal{T}_n$ is equally likely. We show that the number of different rooted trees of a tree equals $(\\mu_r+o(1))n$ for almost every tree of $\\mathcal{T}_n$, where $\\mu_r$ is a constant. As an application, we show that the number of any given pattern in $\\mathcal{T}_n$ is also asymptotically normally distributed with mean $\\sim \\mu_M n$ and variance $\\sim \\sigma_M n$, where $\\mu_M, \\sigma_M$ are some constants related to the given pattern. This solves an open question claimed in Kok's thesis.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-05-20T03:47:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C05", "05C30", "05D40", "05A15", "05A16" ], "keywords": [ "rooted trees", "asymptotic number", "koks thesis", "tree equals", "application" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1207.3915L" } } }
