Embedding height balanced trees and Fibonacci trees in hypercubes. (English) Zbl 1193.68187
Summary: A height balanced tree is a rooted binary tree $$T$$ in which for every vertex $$v\in V(T)$$, the difference $$\mathbf b_T(v)$$ between the heights of the subtrees, rooted at the left and right child of $$v$$ is at most one. We show that a height-balanced tree $$T_h$$ of height $$h$$ is a subtree of the hypercube $$Q_{h+1}$$ of dimension $$h+1$$, if $$T_h$$ contains a path $$P$$ from its root to a leaf such that $$\mathbf b_{T_{h}}(v)=1$$ , for every non-leaf vertex $$v$$ in $$P$$. A Fibonacci tree $$\mathbb{F}_{h}$$ is a height balanced tree $$T_h$$ of height $$h$$ in which $$\mathbf{b}_{\mathbb{F}_{h}}(v)=1$$, for every non-leaf vertex. $$\mathbb{F}_{h}$$ has $$f(h+2)-1$$ vertices where $$f(h+2)$$ denotes the $$(h+2)$$th Fibonacci number. Since $$f(h)\sim 20.694h$$, it follows that if $$\mathbb{F}_{h}$$ is a subtree of $$Q_n$$, then $$n$$ is at least $$0.694(h+2)$$. We prove that $$\mathbb{F}_{h}$$ is a subtree of the hypercube of dimension approximately $$0.75h$$.
