A probabilistic exploration of the Horton-Strahler number /

In this Master's thesis, we consider the Horton-Strahler number $S sb{ rm n}$ for various distributions of random binary trees with n nodes. For random equiprobable binary trees with n nodes, we give a new probabilistic proof of the well-known result that E$S sb{n}$ = log$ sb4$ n + O(1), and sh...
