Abstract

We consider random PATRICIA trees constructed from n i.i.d. sequences of independent equiprobable bits. We study the height Hn (the maximal distance between the root and a leaf), and the minimal fill‐up level Fn (the minimum distance between the root and a leaf). We give probabilistic proofs of **image** and **image**. © 1992 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
