Trees with the most leaves.

(a) If T is a tree with n vertices, what is the most leaves that it can have? Your answer will be an expression involving the variable n. Explain your reasoning. Be sure to address small values for n (e.g., n = 1 or 2).

(b) Draw a tree with eight vertices that has the most number of leaves possible.

How many trees T are there on the set of vertices {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} in which the vertices 2 and 3 have degree 3, vertex 5 has degree 2, and hence all others have degree 1? Do not just draw pictures but consider the possible Pr¨ufer codes of these trees.

Prove or disprove: each binary search tree with n vertices can be reaped into a chain by O(n) rotations (used for the Insert and Delete operations for red-black trees). A chain is a tree in which every vertex has at most 1 descendant. Please help. thank you!

A tree T has 8 vertices, at least two of which have degree 3. a) How many edges are there? b) What are the possible vertex degrees for T in non–increasing order? c) What are the possible forms for T up to isomorphism? The answer to part a is "7" while the answer to part be is " 3,3,3,1,1,1,1,1 and 3,3,2,2,1,1,1,1" There are six possible answers for part c. how? and what are the answers?

You have been given the order of the nodes (vertices) as visited by a postorder traversal and also the order of the nodes (vertices) as visited by an inorder traversal, do you have enough information to reconstruct the original tree? (We assume that the nodes all have unique values). If your answer is "yes" can you explain it in an example tree of about 7 to 10 nodes and see what happens. If your answer is "no", explain that too.

Let T be a complete binary tree such that node v stores the entry (p(v), 0), where p(v) is the level number of v. Is tree T a heap? Why or why not? I know that a complete binary tree is a heap, but shouldn't we also take into consideration the values that it is storing into the tree: (p(v), 0)? The heap tree could be either a min-heap or max-heap. If we order the the value based of p(v)...

9.   (Extra Credit.) A small sample - the T-distribution) The trees around the Quincy College parking lot have an average length of 4 inches. The leaf lengths are normally distributed, coming from a population with a standard deviation of 0.6 inches. The trees around the Quincy College parking lot are subject to the stimulating aroma of MBTA exhausts. A sample of 20 leaves was taken from these trees and the average leaf length was found to be 4.2 inches. With...

Suppose you have a spinner comprised of six equal spaces: a orange 1, a yellow 2, a green 3, a pink 4, a blue 5, and a purple 6. Consider an experiment that consists of randomly spinning the spinner twice. Draw a tree diagram that shows all of the possible outcomes of this experiment. That is, draw a tree diagram that illustrates all possible two spin outcomes. Count the number of paths that yield anything but green or pink on...

The special case of the gamma distribution in which α is a positive integer n is called an Erlang distribution. If we replace β by 1 λ in the expression below, f(x; α, β) = 1 βαΓ(α) xα − 1e−x/β x ≥ 0 0 otherwise the Erlang pdf is as follows. f(x; λ, n) = λ(λx)n − 1e−λx (n − 1)! x ≥ 0 0 x < 0 It can be shown that if the times between successive events are...
