Five Equivalent Representations of a Phylogenetic Tree

Combinatorics 2021-03-30 v2

Abstract

A phylogenetic tree is a tree with a fixed set of leaves that has no vertices of degree two. In this paper, we axiomatically define four other discrete structures on the set of leaves. We prove that each of these structures is an equivalent representation of a phylogenetic tree.
