چکیده

The greedoid Tutte polynomial of a tree is equivalent to a generating function that encodes information about the number of subtrees with I internal (non-leaf) edges and L leaf edges, for all I and L. We prove that this information does not uniquely determine the tree T by constructing an infinite family of pairs of non-isomorphic caterpillars, each pair having identical subtree data. This disproves conjectures of [2] and [6] and contrasts with the situation for rooted trees, where this data completely determines the rooted tree.

Non-separating trees in connected graphs

Let T be any tree of order d ≥ 1. We prove that every connected graph G with minimum degree d contains a subtree T ′ isomorphic to T such that G − V (T ) is connected.

Faster subtree isomorphism

We study the subtree isomorphism problem: Given trees H and G, find a subtree of G which is isomorphic to H or decide that there is no such subtree. We give an O( k1:5 logkn)time algorithm for this problem, where k and n are the number of vertices in H and G respectively. This improves over the O(k1:5n) algorithms of Chung and Matula. We also give a randomized (Las Vegas) O(min(k1:45n; kn1:43))...

Subtree filament graphs are subtree overlap graphs

We show that the class of intersection graphs of subtree filaments in a tree is identical to the class of overlap graphs of subtrees in a tree.

Approximating the Maximum Isomorphic Agreement Subtree Is Hard

The Maximum Isomorphic Agreement Subtree (MIT) problem is one of the simplest versions of the Maximum Interval Weight Agreement Subtree method (MIWT) which is used to compare phylogenies. More precisely MIT allows to provide a subset of the species such that the exact distances between species in such subset are preserved among all evolutionary trees considered. In this paper, the approximation...

An O(n log n) Algorithm for the Maximum Agreement Subtree Problem for Binary Trees

The Maximum Agreement Subtree problem is the following: given two rooted trees whose leaves are drawn from the same set of items (e.g., species), find the largest subset of these items so that the portions of the two trees restricted to these items are isomorphic. We consider the case which occurs frequently in practice, i.e., the case when the trees are binary, and give an O(n logn) time algor...
