Abstract

We study a geometric random tree model which is a variant of the FKP model proposed in [1]. We choose vertices v1, ..., vnin some convex body uniformly and fix a point . We then build our tree inductively, where at time twe add an edge from vtto the vertex in v1, ..., vt驴 1which minimizes for it, where 驴 0. We categorize an edge vi驴vjin this graph as local or global depending on the edge length relative to the distance from vito . It is shown that for 驴bounded away from 1 either all edges are local or all are global a.a.s. However, as 驴驴1 we show that in fact the number of local and global edges are asymptotically balanced.
