Parents, children and arms in a finite tree #
Proof of Proposition 4.1, Step 2 (periodic-mesh-calculations.tex):
"The tree is consequently a path or has one trivalent vertex. In the latter
case let p ≤ q ≤ r be its arm lengths."
Seen from a root o, each other vertex has a unique parent (TreeBFS); its
other neighbours are its children. This file sets up parents, children and
ancestors.
The parent of a vertex, seen from the root o.
Instances For
w is a child of v.
Instances For
The children of v.
Instances For
A vertex other than the root has its parent and its children as neighbours.
The k-th ancestor.
Instances For
At most one trivalent vertex (periodic-mesh-calculations.tex).
The child of the root through which the path to v passes.
Instances For
Each arm is a chain: below each child of the root there is at most one vertex at each distance, when non-root vertices have at most one child.
The arm below the child c of the root.
Instances For
The distances along an arm are 1, …, |arm|.
The vertex of the arm below c at distance d.
Instances For
An enumeration of the children of the root.
Instances For
The arm lengths, minus one.
Instances For
The isomorphism with the star model, on vertices.
Instances For
The isomorphism with the star model, as an equivalence.
Instances For
Proposition 4.1, Step 2: the tree is Dynkin. A finite tree carrying a
vector n > 0 with Mn > 0 is a star with at most one arm (a path rooted at
an end) or with three arms satisfying ∑ p_i/(p_i + 1) < 2
