The set of paths leading to a given point defines a tree known as the navigation tree. In this article, we analyze the properties of the navigation tree when the point set is a Poisson point process on $\\mathbb{R}^d$. We examine the local weak convergence of the navigation tree, the asymptotic average of a functional along a path, the shape of the navigation tree and its topological ends. We illustrate our work in the small-world graphs where new results are established.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2008-04-02T06:01:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60D05", "05C05", "90C27", "60G55" ], "keywords": [ "poisson point process", "navigation tree", "locally finite point set", "local weak convergence", "point defines" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......1122B" } } }
