We consider sums of functions of subtrees of a random binary search tree, and obtain general laws of large numbers and central limit theorems. These sums correspond to random recur...

The working-set bound [Sleator and Tarjan, J. ACM, 1985] roughly states that searching for an element is fast if the element was accessed recently. Binary search trees, such as sp...
