A quadratic kernel for computing the hybridization number of multiple trees
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has recently been shown that the NP-hard problem of calculating the minimum number of hybridization events that is needed to explain a set of rooted binary phylogenetic trees by means of a hybridization network is fixed-parameter tractable if an instance of the problem consists of precisely two such trees. In this paper, we show that this problem remains fixed-parameter tractable for an arbitrarily large set of rooted binary phylogenetic trees. In particular, we present a quadratic kernel.

An Interior Point Algorithm for Solving Convex Quadratic Semidefinite Optimization Problems Using a New Kernel Function
In this paper, we consider convex quadratic semidefinite optimization problems and provide a primal-dual Interior Point Method (IPM) based on a new kernel function with a trigonometric barrier term. Iteration complexity of the algorithm is analyzed using some easy to check and mild conditions. Although our proposed kernel function is neither a Self-Regular (SR) fun...
متن کاملKernelizations for the Hybridization Number Problem on Multiple Nonbinary Trees
Given a finite setX, a collection T of rooted phylogenetic trees onX and an integer k, the Hybridization Number problem asks if there exists a phylogenetic network on X that displays all trees from T and has reticulation number at most k. We show two kernelization algorithms for Hybridization Number, with kernel sizes 4k(5k) and 20k(∆ − 1) respectively, with t the number of input trees and ∆ th...
متن کاملA mathematically simple method based on denition for computing eigenvalues, generalized eigenvalues and quadratic eigenvalues of matrices
In this paper, a fundamentally new method, based on the denition, is introduced for numerical computation of eigenvalues, generalized eigenvalues and quadratic eigenvalues of matrices. Some examples are provided to show the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method. It is shown that the proposed method gives other sequences than that of existing methods but they still are convergent to th...
متن کاملComputing Hybridization Networks for Multiple Rooted Binary Phylogenetic Trees by Maximum Acyclic Agreement Forests
It is a known fact that given two rooted binary phylogenetic trees the concept of maximum acyclic agreement forests is sufficient to compute hybridization networks with minimum hybridization number. In this work we demonstrate by, first, presenting an algorithm and, second, showing its correctness that this concept is also sufficient in the case of multiple input trees. In detail, we show that ...
متن کاملTHE COMPARISON OF TWO METHOD NONPARAMETRIC APPROACH ON SMALL AREA ESTIMATION (CASE: APPROACH WITH KERNEL METHODS AND LOCAL POLYNOMIAL REGRESSION)
Small Area estimation is a technique used to estimate parameters of subpopulations with small sample sizes. Small area estimation is needed in obtaining information on a small area, such as sub-district or village. Generally, in some cases, small area estimation uses parametric modeling. But in fact, a lot of models have no linear relationship between the small area average and the covariat...
