In this paper we provide a systematic treatment of several shape parameters of (random)k-trees. Our research is motivated by many important algorithmic applications ofk-trees in the context of tree-decomposition of a graph and graphs of bounded tree-width. On the other hand,k-trees are also a very interesting object from the combinatorial point of view. For both labeled and unlabeledk-trees, we prove that the number ofleavesand more generally the number ofnodesof given degree satisfy a central limit theorem with mean value and variance that are asymptotically linear in the size of thek-tree. In particular we solve theasymptotic counting problemfor unlabeledk-trees. By applying a proper singularity analysis of generating functions we show that the numbersof unlabeledk-trees of sizenare asymptotically given by, whereanddenotes the radius of convergence of the generating function.
