Record process on the continuum random tree

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: By considering a continuous pruning procedure on Aldous's Brownian tree, we construct a random variable Theta which is distributed, conditionally given the tree, according to the probability law introduced by Janson as the limit distribution of the number of cuts needed to isolate the root in a critical Galton-Watson tree. We also prove that this random variable can be obtained as the a.s. limit of the number of cuts needed to cut down the subtree of the continuum tree spanned by n leaves.
