Abstract:
Uniform sequential tree-building aggregation of n particles is analyzed together with the effect of the avalanche that takes place when a subtree rooted at a uniformly chosen vertex is removed. For large n, the expected subtree size is found to be ≃ log n both for the tree of size n and the tree that remains after an avalanche. Repeated breakage-restoration cycles are seen to give independent avalanches which attain size k (1 ≤ k ≤ n - 1) with probability (k(k + 1))-1 and restored trees that are recursive.
