Reflections on kernelizing and computing unrooted agreement forests
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Here we explore the practical impact of kernelization (i.e. data reduction) on the NP-hard problem of computing the TBR distance between two unrooted binary phylogenetic trees. ...
This problem is better-known in the literature as the maximum agreement forest problem, where the goal is to partition the two trees into a minimum number of common, non-overlapping subtrees. ...

New Reduction Rules for the Tree Bisection and Reconnection Distance
2020
Annals of Combinatorics
The new rules combine the "unrooted generator" approach introduced in Kelk and Linz (SIAM J Discrete Math 33(3):1556-1574, 2019) with a careful analysis of agreement forests to identify (i) situations ...
Recently it was shown that, if the subtree and chain reduction rules have been applied exhaustively to two unrooted phylogenetic trees, the reduced trees will have at most 15k − 9 taxa where k is the TBR ...

The new rules combine the "unrooted generator" approach introduced in [Kelk and Linz 2018] with a careful analysis of agreement forests to identify (i) situations when chains of length 3 can be further ...

Again, let F be an agreement forest for two unrooted binary phylogenetic trees T and T on X, and let C = ( 1 , 2 , . . . , n ) be a common n-chain of T and T . ...

Our results also apply to the equivalent problem of computing a Maximum Agreement Forest (MAF) between two unrooted binary phylogenetic trees. ...
We describe a kernel of size 9k-8 for the NP-hard problem of computing the Tree Bisection and Reconnect (TBR) distance k between two unrooted binary phylogenetic trees. ...

A tight kernel for computing the tree bisection and reconnection distance between two phylogenetic trees
[article]
2019

Here we reanalyse Allen and Steel's kernelization algorithm and prove that the reduced instances will in fact have at most 15k-9 taxa. ...
In 2001 Allen and Steel showed that, if subtree and chain reduction rules have been applied to two unrooted phylogenetic trees, the reduced trees will have at most 28k taxa where k is the TBR (Tree Bisection ...

Treewidth distance on phylogenetic trees
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
On a slightly different note we show that if a display graph is formed from the fusion of a phylogenetic network and a tree, rather than from two trees, the treewidth of the display graph is bounded whenever ...
We also show that the gap between treewidth and Tree Bisection and Reconnect (TBR) distance can be infinitely large, and that unlike, for example, planar graphs the treewidth of the display graph can be ...
Computing the TBR-distance is essentially equivalent to the Maximum Agreement Forest (MAF) problem: Given an unrooted binary phylogenetic tree on X and X ⊂ X we let T (X ) denote the minimal subtree that ...
