Abstract
In Computer Science there are several algorithms which build search trees using digital properties of the search keys. An important parameter in the analysis of these data structures is the so-called pathlength. The average case analysis involves interesting mathematical methods from the calculus of finite differences and from asymptotic analysis. Some of the appearing constants may be evaluated using properties of modular functions.
