Bounds on the Expected Size of the Maximum Agreement Subtree

Bounds on the Expected Size of the Maximum Agreement Subtree

We prove polynomial upper and lower bounds on the expected size of the maximum agreement subtree of two random binary phylogenetic trees under both the uniform distribution and Yule-Harding distribution. This positively answers a question posed in earlier work. Determining tight upper and lower bounds remains an open problem.

An improved bound on the maximum agreement subtree problem

We improve the lower bound on the extremal version of the Maximum Agreement Subtree problem. Namely we prove that two binary trees on the same n leaves have subtrees with the same ≥ c log log n leaves which are homeomorphic, such that homeomorphism is identity on the leaves.

قاعده مقتضی و مانع در متون فقهی کم و بیش مستند احکام قرار گرفته و مورد مناقشه فقهاء و اصولیین می باشد و مشهور معتقند مقتضی و مانع، قاعده نیست بلکه یکی از مسائل ذیل استصحاب است لذا نگارنده بر آن شد تا پیرامون این قاعده پژوهش جامعی انجام دهد. به عقیده ما مقتضی دارای حیثیت مستقلی است و هر گاه می گوییم مقتضی احراز شد یعنی با ماهیت مستقل خودش محرز گشته و قطعا اقتضاء خود را خواهد داشت مانند نکاح که ...

On the approximability of the Maximum Agreement SubTree and Maximum Compatible Tree problems

The aim of this paper is to give a complete picture of approximability for two tree consensus problems which are of particular interest in computational biology: Maximum Agreement SubTree (MAST) and Maximum Compatible Tree (MCT). Both problems take as input a label set and a collection of trees whose leaf sets are each bijectively labeled with the label set. Define the size of a tree as the num...
