We present a randomized algorithm for reconstructing directed rooted trees of $n$ nodes and node degree at most $d$, by asking at most $O(dn\log^2 n)$ path queries. Each path query takes as input an origin node and a target node, and…

Given an edge-weighted tree $T$ with $n$ leaves, sample the leaves uniformly at random without replacement and let $W_k$, $2 \le k \le n$, be the length of the subtree spanned by the first $k$ leaves. We consider the question, "Can $T$ be…

An m-extracting procedure produces unbiased random bits from a loaded dice with m faces. A binarization takes inputs from an m-faced dice and produce bit sequences to be fed into a (binary) extracting procedure to obtain random bits. Thus,…

We present the first fixed-parameter algorithm for constructing a tree-child phylogenetic network that displays an arbitrary number of binary input trees and has the minimum number of reticulations among all such networks. The algorithm…

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…

Galled trees are studied as a recombination model in theoretic population genetics. This class of phylogenetic networks has been generalized to tree-child networks, normal networks and tree-based networks by relaxing a structural condition.…
