Surviving prefixes and the remaining forest #
After a surviving prefix, the remaining pending subtrees are counted by the prefix stack. First passage to minus that stack is exactly completion of the first tree. This is a deterministic finite-word statement.
A local discrete structure for finite prefix words.
Instances For
Prefix-word singletons are measurable in the local structure.
The finite-tree bridge preserves the DFS prefix observable.
Every finite prefix cylinder is measurable.
The totalized tree-prefix observable is measurable.
The pending-stack integer of a surviving prefix is its walk value plus one.
A surviving prefix always leaves a positive number of pending subtrees.
Completing the first tree after a surviving prefix is first passage for its pending forest.
The first decoded block has length equal to its first ladder time.
Prefixes within the first block are exactly initial offspring prefixes.
The first block has the unconditioned BGW law.
