title: Non-crossing trees revisited: cutting down and spanning subtrees
keywords: Non-crossing trees, generating function, limiting distributions
abstract: Here we consider two parameters for random non-crossing trees: (i) the number of random cuts to destroy a size-
n
non-crossing tree and (ii) the spanning subtree-size of
p
randomly chosen nodes in a size-
n
non-crossing tree. For both quantities, we are able to characterise for
n → ∞
the limiting distributions. Non-crossing trees are almost conditioned Galton-Watson trees, and it has been already shown, that the contour and other usually associated discrete excursions converge, suitable normalised, to the Brownian excursion. We can interpret parameter (ii) as a functional of a conditioned random walk, and although we do not have such an interpretation for parameter (i), we obtain here limiting distributions, that are also arising as limits of some functionals of conditioned random walks.

The first source gives you the `gzipped' PostScript, the second the plain PostScript and the third the format for the Adobe accrobat reader. Depending on the installation of your web browser, at least one of these should (after some amount of time) pop up a window for you that shows the full article. If this is not the case, you should contact your system administrator to install your browser correctly.

Due to limitations of your local software, the two formats may show up differently on your screen. If eg you use xpdf to visualize pdf, some of the graphics in the file may not come across. On the other hand, pdf has a capacity of giving links to sections, bibliography and external references that will not appear with PostScript.
