Coalescent random forests

From MaRDI portal





Suppose that rooted forests (in which the edges in each tree are directed away from the root of the tree) are formed by starting with a set of \(n\) labelled vertices and succesively adding an edge \(uv\) from a randomly chosen vertex \(u\) to the root \(v\) of a randomly chosen tree not containing \(u\). The author derives several enumeration formulae for forests and trees by means of such a coalescent construction; and he relates such a construction to models of clustering or coagulation processes with applications in various areas, among other things.
