寻找中介性和四方兼容性的多种解决方案的复杂性

The Complexity of Finding Multiple Solutions to Betweenness and Quartet Compatibility

Maria Luisa Bonet, Simone Linz, Katherine St. John

摘要:

我们发现,在计算生物学中有应用的两个重要问题是ASP完全的,这意味着,给定一个问题的解决方案,它是NP完全的,以决定是否存在另一个解决方案。我们首先表明,变化的介数,这是辐射混合映射相关的问题的根本问题,是ASP完全的。随后,我们使用该结果表明,四方兼容性,一个基本的问题,在遗传学,问一组四位数是否可以表示的父树,也是ASP完成。后一个结果表明,Steel的\sc Quartet Challenge(询问Quartet兼容性的解决方案是否唯一)是coNP完全的。

英文摘要:

We show that two important problems that have applications in computational biology are ASP-complete, which implies that, given a solution to a problem, it is NP-complete to decide if another solution exists. We show first that a variation of Betweenness, which is the underlying problem of questions related to radiation hybrid mapping, is ASP-complete. Subsequently, we use that result to show that Quartet Compatibility, a fundamental problem in phylogenetics that asks whether a set of quartets can be represented by a parent tree, is also ASP-complete. The latter result shows that Steel's \sc Quartet Challenge, which asks whether a solution to Quartet Compatibility is unique, is coNP-complete.
