On Agreement Subtrees in Multiple Phylogenetic Trees
Bryan Currie, Éva Czabarka, Mareike Fischer +3
Snir and Yuster [Discrete Appl. Math. 347 (2026) 160--171] asked for the least number such that unrooted binary phylogenetic trees on the same leaves always share…
On the maximum value of the stairs2 index
Bryan Currie, Kristina Wicke
Measures of tree balance play an important role in different research areas such as mathematical phylogenetics or theoretical computer science. The balance of a tree is usually qua…
Universal rooted phylogenetic tree shapes and universal tanglegrams
Ann Clifton, Eva Czabarka, Kevin Liu +4
We provide an lower bound and an upper bound for the smallest size of rooted binary trees (a.k.a. phylogenetic tree shapes), which are universal for rooted b…
Exploring spaces of semi-directed phylogenetic networks
Simone Linz, Kristina Wicke
Semi-directed phylogenetic networks have recently emerged as a class of phylogenetic networks sitting between rooted (directed) and unrooted (undirected) phylogenetic networks as t…
Combinatorial perspectives on Dollo- characters in phylogenetics
Remco Bouckaert, Mareike Fischer, Kristina Wicke
Recently, the perfect phylogeny model with persistent characters has attracted great attention in the literature. It is based on the assumption that complex traits or characters ca…
On the maximum agreement subtree conjecture for balanced trees
Magnus Bordewich, Simone Linz, Megan Owen +3
We give a counterexample to the conjecture of Martin and Thatte that two balanced rooted binary leaf-labelled trees on leaves have a maximum agreement subtree (MAST) of size at…
Extremal properties of the Colless balance index for rooted binary trees
Mareike Fischer, Lina Herbst, Kristina Wicke
Measures of tree balance play an important role in various research areas, for example in phylogenetics. There they are for instance used to test whether an observed phylogenetic t…
