چکیده

Let X be a finite set, N be a reticulation-visible network on X, and T be a rooted binary phylogenetic tree. We show that there is a polynomial-time algorithm for deciding whether or not N displays T . Furthermore, for all |X| ≥ 1, we show that N has at most 8|X| − 7 vertices in total and at most 3|X| − 3 reticulation vertices, and that these upper bounds are sharp.

Bounding the Size of a Network Defined By Visibility Property

Phylogenetic networks are mathematical structures for modeling and visualization of reticulation processes in the study of evolution. Galled networks, reticulation visible networks, nearly-stable networks and stable-child networks are the four classes of phylogenetic networks that are recently introduced to study the topological and algorithmic aspects of phylogenetic networks. We prove the fol...

Solving Tree Containment Problem for Reticulation-visible Networks with Optimal Running Time

Tree containment problem is a fundamental problem in phylogenetic study, as it is used to verify a network model. It asks whether a given network contain a subtree that resembles a binary tree. The problem is NP-complete in general, even in the class of binary network. Recently, it was proven to be solvable in cubic time, and later in quadratic time for the class of general reticulation visible...

A decomposition theorem and two algorithms for reticulation-visible networks

In studies of molecular evolution, phylogenetic trees are rooted binary trees, whereas phylogenetic networks are rooted acyclic digraphs. Edges are directed away from the root and leaves are uniquely labeled with taxa in phylogenetic networks. For the purpose of validating evolutionary models, biologists check whether or not a phylogenetic tree (resp. cluster) is contained in a phylogenetic net...

Locating a Phylogenetic Tree in a Reticulation-Visible Network in Quadratic Time

In phylogenetics, phylogenetic trees are rooted binary trees, whereas phylogenetic networks are rooted arbitrary acyclic digraphs. Edges are directed away from the root and leaves are uniquely labeled with taxa in phylogenetic networks. For the purpose of validating evolutionary models, biologists check whether or not a phylogenetic tree is contained in a phylogenetic network on the same taxa. ...

Linear-Time Tree Containment in Phylogenetic Networks

We consider the NP-hard Tree Containment problem that has important applications in phylogenetics. The problem asks if a given leaflabeled network contains a subdivision of a given leaf-labeled tree. We develop a fast algorithm for the case that the input network is indeed a tree in which multiple leaves might share a label. By combining this algorithm with a generalization of a previously know...
