``Parents and Children'' by Schneemann on 2006-02-15 12:39:44
Hi
The well-ordering implies that for two nodes a < d in such a tree...

(i) there's exactly one direct child node b of a, with a < b <= d, and nothing between a and b.

(ii) there DOESN'T NEED to be a direct parent node c of d, with a <= c < d, and nothing in between c and d.

Am I right? If yes, it would be useful to explain that next to the definition...

Regards, Schneemann :)
