Increasing Paths on N-ary Trees
摘要
Consider a rooted N-ary tree. To every vertex of this tree, we attach an i.i.d. continuous random variable. A vertex is called accessible if along its ancestral line, the attached random variables are increasing. We keep accessible vertices and kill all the others. For any positive constant α, we describe the asymptotic behaviors of the population at the αN-th generation as N goes to infinity. We also study the criticality of the survival probability at the
