Information theory: Sources, Dirichlet series, and realistic analyses of data structures

Most of the text algorithms build data structures on words, mainly trees, as digital trees (tries) or binary search trees (bst). The mechanism which produces symbols of the words (one symbol at each unit time) is called a source, in information theory contexts. The probabilistic behaviour of the tre...
