    Characterizing Compatibility and Agreement of Unrooted Trees via Cuts in Graphs

    Deciding whether there is a single tree —a supertree— that summarizes the evolutionary information in a collection of unrooted trees is a fundamental problem in phylogenetics. We consider two versions of this ...

    Improved Lower Bounds on the Compatibility of Quartets, Triplets, and Multi-state Characters

    We study a long standing conjecture on the necessary and sufficient conditions for the compatibility of multi-state characters: There exists a function f(r) such that, for any set C of r-state characters, C is co...

    Extracting Conflict-Free Information from Multi-labeled Trees

    A multi-labeled tree, or MUL-tree, is a phylogenetic tree where two or more leaves share a label, e.g., a species name. A MUL-tree can imply multiple conflicting phylogenetic relationships for the same set of ...
