A Linear-Time Majority Tree Algorithm

We give a randomized linear-time algorithm for computing the majority rule consensus tree. The majority rule tree is widely used for summarizing a set of phylogenetic trees, which is usually a postprocessing step in constructing a phylogeny. We are implementing the algorithm as part of an interactive visualization system for exploring distributions of trees, where speed is a serious concern for...

An improved algorithm to reconstruct a binary tree from its inorder and postorder traversals

It is well-known that, given inorder traversal along with one of the preorder or postorder traversals of a binary tree, the tree can be determined uniquely. Several algorithms have been proposed to reconstruct a binary tree from its inorder and preorder traversals. There is one study to reconstruct a binary tree from its inorder and postorder traversals, and this algorithm takes running time of...

Fast and Optimal Algorithms for Weighted Graph Prediction

We show that the mistake bound for predicting the nodes of an arbitrary weighted graph is characterized (up to logarithmic factors) by the weighted cutsize of a random spanning tree of the graph. The cutsize is induced by the unknown adversarial labeling of the graph nodes. In deriving our characterization, we obtain a simple randomized algorithm achieving the optimal mistake bound on any graph...

Verification and Sensitivity Analysis of Minimum Spanning Trees in Linear Time

Koml os has devised a way to use a linear number of binary comparisons to test whether a given spanning tree of a graph with edge costs is a minimum spanning tree. The total computational work required by his method is much larger than linear, however. We describe a linear-time algorithm for verifying a minimum spanning tree. Our algorithm combines the result of Koml os with a preprocessing and...

A novel algorithm to determine the leaf (leaves) of a binary tree from its preorder and postorder traversals

Binary trees are essential structures in Computer Science. The leaf (leaves) of a binary tree is one of the most significant aspects of it. In this study, we prove that the order of a leaf (leaves) of a binary tree is the same in the main tree traversals; preorder, inorder, and postorder. Then, we prove that given the preorder and postorder traversals of a binary tree, the leaf (leaves) of a bi...
