Recurrent properties are algorithms that operate on pairs of trees testing some characteristic on nodes by performing a preorder traversal on both trees. Analysis of recurrent properties using the probability model associated with randomly grown binary search trees leads to wave equations. We use a “normalized" integral equation as a pattern to model a specific wave equation and investigate the asymptotic behavior of its solution. This methodology is applied to some particular cases of recurrent properties like testing equality, detecting direct occurrences and clashes or pattern matchingengjournal articlehttp://iospress.metapress.com/content/y36663894848480w/fulltext.pdfhttp://iospress.metapress.com/restricted access004average case analysisgenerating functionbinary search treesingularity analysisintegral equationasymptotic expansionInformática (Informática)1203.17 Informática
