Gaussian approximation for rooted edges in a random minimal directed spanning tree

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study the total alpha-powered length of the rooted edges in a random minimal directed spanning tree - first introduced in Bhatt and Roy (2004) - on a Poisson process with intensity sge1 on the unit cube [0,1]d for dge3. While a Dickman limit was proved in Penrose and Wade (2004) in the case of d=2, in dimensions three and higher, Bai, Lee and Penrose (2006) showed a Gaussian central limit theorem when alpha=1, with a rate of convergence of the order (logs)−(d−2)/4(loglogs)(d+1)/2. In this paper, we extend these results and prove a central limit theorem in any dimension dge3 for any alpha>0. Moreover, making use of recent results in Stein's method for region-stabilizing functionals, we provide presumably optimal non-asymptotic bounds of the order (logs)−(d−2)/2 on the Wasserstein and the Kolmogorov distances between the distribution of the total alpha-powered length of rooted edges, suitably normalized, and that of a standard Gaussian random variable.
