Analyzing sets of phylogenetic trees using metrics

Damian Bogdanowicz (2011)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The reconstruction of evolutionary trees is one of the primary objectives in phylogenetics. Such a tree represents historical evolutionary relationships between different species or organisms. Tree comparisons are used for multiple purposes, from unveiling the history of species to deciphering evolutionary associations among organisms and geographical areas. In this paper, we describe a general method for comparing phylogenetic trees and give some basic properties of the Matching Split...

Completely Independent Spanning Trees in (Partial) k-Trees

Masayoshi Matsushita, Yota Otachi, Toru Araki (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Two spanning trees T1 and T2 of a graph G are completely independent if, for any two vertices u and v, the paths from u to v in T1 and T2 are internally disjoint. For a graph G, we denote the maximum number of pairwise completely independent spanning trees by cist(G). In this paper, we consider cist(G) when G is a partial k-tree. First we show that [k/2] ≤ cist(G) ≤ k − 1 for any k-tree G. Then we show that for any p ∈ {[k/2], . . . , k − 1}, there exist infinitely many k-trees G such...

Codings and operators in two genetic algorithms for the leaf-constrained minimum spanning tree problem

Bryant Julstrom (2004)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The features of an evolutionary algorithm that most determine its performance are the coding by which its chromosomes represent candidate solutions to its target problem and the operators that act on that coding. Also, when a problem involves constraints, a coding that represents only valid solutions and operators that preserve that validity represent a smaller search space and result in a more effective search. Two genetic algorithms for the leaf-constrained minimum spanning tree problem...

The triangles method to build X -trees from incomplete distance matrices

Alain Guénoche, Bruno Leclerc (2001)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

A method to infer X -trees (valued trees having X as set of leaves) from incomplete distance arrays (where some entries are uncertain or unknown) is described. It allows us to build an unrooted tree using only 2 n -3 distance values between the n elements of X , if they fulfill some explicit conditions. This construction is based on the mapping between X -tree and a weighted generalized 2-tree spanning X .
