Breakage and restoration in recursive trees

Uniform sequential tree-building aggregation of n particles is analyzed together with the effect of the avalanche that takes place when a subtree rooted at a uniformly chosen vertex is removed. For large n, the expected subtree size is found to be ≃ log n both for the tree of size n and the tree tha...
