Minimum-Entropy Tree Structures with a Given Terminal Node Assignment
Department of Mathematics, Kuwait University P.O. Box 5969, Kuwait
In this paper we characterize a class of rooted trees having a given number of terminal vertices in each level of the tree and a given height. We also present two conditions for the existence of a graphical representation of the above class of trees. Then we consider an entropy function which is defined on the paths in the trees and give an algorithm to construct minimum-path-entropy tree structures.
