In this work we introduce and study various generalizations of the notion of increasingly labelled trees, where the label of a child node is always larger than the label of its parent node, to multilabelled tree families, where the nodes in…

Consider a rooted tree $T$ with leaf-set $[n]$, and with all non-leaf vertices having out-degree $2$, at least. A rooted tree $\mathcal T$ with leaf-set $S\subset [n]$ is induced by $S$ in $T$ if $\mathcal T$ is the lowest common ancestor…

Many innovations are inspired by past ideas in a non-trivial way. Tracing these origins and identifying scientific branches is crucial for research inspirations. In this paper, we use citation relations to identify the descendant chart,…

The problem of finding factors of a text string which are identical or similar to a given pattern string is a central problem in computer science. A generalised version of this problem consists in implementing an index over the text to…

The inference of new information on the relatedness of species by phylogenetic trees based on DNA data is one of the main challenges of modern biology. But despite all technological advances, DNA sequencing is still a time-consuming and…

Phylogenetic trees describe the evolutionary history of a group of present-day species from a common ancestor. These trees are typically reconstructed from aligned DNA sequence data. In this paper we analytically address the following…

Pedigree graphs, or family trees, are typically constructed by an expensive process of examining genealogical records to determine which pairs of individuals are parent and child. New methods to automate this process take as input genetic…

A Supertree synthesizes the topologies of a set of phylogenetic trees carrying overlapping taxa set. In process, conflicts in the tree topologies are aimed to be resolved with the consensus clades. Such a problem is proved to be NP-hard.…

We study the parameterized complexity of the problems of finding a maximum common (induced) subgraph of two given graphs. Since these problems generalize several NP-complete problems, they are intractable even when parameterized by strongly…

In analogy to other concepts of a similar nature, we define the inducibility of a rooted binary tree. Given a fixed rooted binary tree $B$ with $k$ leaves, we let $\gamma(B,T)$ be the proportion of all subsets of $k$ leaves in $T$ that…

We revisit weight-balanced trees, also known as trees of bounded balance. This class of binary search trees was invented by Nievergelt and Reingold in 1972. Such trees are obtained by assigning a weight to each node and requesting that the…

The structure of an evolving network contains information about its past. Extracting this information efficiently, however, is, in general, a difficult challenge. We formulate a fast and efficient method to estimate the most likely history…

We focus on generative AI for a type of data that still represent one of the most prevalent form of data: tabular data. Our paper introduces two key contributions: a new powerful class of forest-based models fit for such tasks and a simple…

The reconstruction of phylogenetic networks is an important but challenging problem in phylogenetics and genome evolution, as the space of phylogenetic networks is vast and cannot be sampled well. One approach to the problem is to solve the…

Consider a forest that evolves via $link$ operations that make the root of one tree the child of a node in another tree. Intermixed with $link$ operations are $nca$ operations, which return the nearest common ancestor of two given nodes…

Between the leaves and the nodes of a complete binary tree, a separate parent-child-sister hierarchy is employed independent of the parent-child-sister hierarchy used for the rest of the tree. Two different versions of such a local…
