    We determine a recursive formula for the number of rooted complete N-ary trees with n leaves which generalizes the formula for the sequence of Wedderburn-Etherington numbers. The diagonal sequence of our new sequences equals to the sequence of numbers of rooted trees with N+1 vertices

    Two kinds of hook length formulas for complete mm-ary trees

    Get PDF
    In this paper, we define two kinds of hook length for internal vertices of complete mm-ary trees, and deduce their corresponding hook length formulas, which generalize the main results obtained by Du and Liu.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure. To appear in Discrete Mathematic

    The vertical profile of embedded trees

    Consider a rooted binary tree with n nodes. Assign with the root the abscissa 0, and with the left (resp. right) child of a node of abscissa i the abscissa i-1 (resp. i+1). We prove that the number of binary trees of size n having exactly n_i nodes at abscissa i, for l =< i =< r (with n = sum_i n_i), is n0nlnr(n1+n1n01)liri0(ni1+ni+11ni1), \frac{n_0}{n_l n_r} {{n_{-1}+n_1} \choose {n_0-1}} \prod_{l\le i\le r \atop i\not = 0}{{n_{i-1}+n_{i+1}-1} \choose {n_i-1}}, with n_{l-1}=n_{r+1}=0. The sequence (n_l, ..., n_{-1};n_0, ..., n_r) is called the vertical profile of the tree. The vertical profile of a uniform random tree of size n is known to converge, in a certain sense and after normalization, to a random mesure called the integrated superbrownian excursion, which motivates our interest in the profile. We prove similar looking formulas for other families of trees whose nodes are embedded in Z. We also refine these formulas by taking into account the number of nodes at abscissa j whose parent lies at abscissa i, and/or the number of vertices at abscissa i having a prescribed number of children at abscissa j, for all i and j. Our proofs are bijective.Comment: 47 page
