Some families of increasing planar maps

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Stack-triangulations appear as natural objects when one wants to define some families of increasing triangulations by successive additions of faces. We investigate the asymptotic behavior of rooted stack-triangulations with 2n faces under two different distributions. We show that the uniform distribution on this set of maps converges, for a topology of local convergence, to a distribution on the set of infinite maps. In the other hand, we show that rescaled by n1/2, they converge for the Gromov-Hausdorff topology on metric spaces to the continuum random tree introduced by Aldous. Under a distribution induced by a natural random construction, the distance between random points rescaled by (6/11) log n converge to 1 in probability. We obtain similar asymptotic results for a family of increasing quadrangulations.
