Extremal Distances for Subtree Transfer Operations in Binary Trees
Three standard subtree transfer operations for binary trees, used in particular for phylogenetic trees, are: tree bisection and reconnection (TBR), subtree prune and regraft (SPR) and rooted subtree prune and regraft (rSPR). For a pair of leaf-labelled binary trees with n leaves, the maximum number of such moves required to transform one into the other is n−Θ( √ n), extending a result of Ding, ...
متن کاملSubtree Transfer Operations and their Induced Metrics on Evolutionary Trees
Leaf-labelled trees are widely used to describe evolutionary relationships, particularly in biology. In this setting, extant species label the leaves of the tree, while the internal vertices correspond to ancestral species. Various techniques exist for reconstructing these evolutionary trees from data, and an important problem is to determine how “far apart” two such reconstructed trees are fro...
متن کاملSubtree Weight Ratios for Optimal Binary Search Trees
For an optimal binary search tree T with a subtree S(d) at a distance d from the root of T, we study the ratio of the weight of S(d) to the weight of T. The maximum possible value, which we call ρ(d), of the ratio of weights, is found to have an upper bound of 2/Fd+3 where Fi is the ith Fibonacci number. For d = 1, 2, 3, and 4, the bound is shown to be tight. For larger d, the Fibonacci bound g...
متن کاملApproximating Subtree Distances Between Phylogenies
We give a 5-approximation algorithm to the rooted Subtree-Prune-and-Regraft (rSPR) distance between two phylogenies, which was recently shown to be NP-complete. This paper presents the first approximation result for this important tree distance. The algorithm follows a standard format for tree distances. The novel ideas are in the analysis. In the analysis, the cost of the algorithm uses a "cas...
متن کاملSubtree Sizes in Recursive Trees and Binary Search Trees: Berry-Esseen Bounds and Poisson Approximations
We study the number of subtrees on the fringe of random recursive trees and random binary search trees whose limit law is known to be either normal or Poisson or degenerate depending on the size of the subtree. We introduce a new approach to this problem which helps us to further clarify this phenomenon. More precisely, we derive optimal Berry-Esseen bounds and local limit theorems for the norm...
