Numerical Studies of the Asymptotic Height Distribution in Binary Search Trees

We study numerically a non-linear integral equation that arises in the study of binary search trees. If the tree is constructed from n elements, this integral equation describes the asymptotic (as n→∞) distribution of the height of the tree. This supplements some asymptotic results we recently...
