关于低树宽图和超树

On low treewidth graphs and supertrees

Alexander Grigoriev, Steven Kelk, Nela Lekic

摘要:

无根系统发生树的相容性是植物遗传学中一个研究得很好的问题。它要求确定对于一组k个输入树,是否存在一个包含所有k个输入树的拓扑的更大的树(称为超树)。当任何这样的超树存在时,我们称实例为兼容的,否则称为不兼容的。众所周知,该问题是NP-难和FPT,虽然建设性的FPT算法是未知的。它已经表明,每当一个辅助结构的树宽称为显示图是严格大于输入树的数量,该实例是不兼容的。在这里,我们证明了只要显示图的树宽最多为2,实例就是兼容的。此外,我们给出了一个多项式时间算法来构造超树在这种情况下。最后,我们演示了具有树宽为3的显示图的兼容和不兼容实例,强调显示图的树宽(本身)不足以确定兼容性。

英文摘要:

Compatibility of unrooted phylogenetic trees is a well studied problem in phylogenetics. It asks to determine whether for a set of k input trees there exists a larger tree (called a supertree) that contains the topologies of all k input trees. When any such supertree exists we call the instance compatible and otherwise incompatible. It is known that the problem is NP-hard and FPT, although a constructive FPT algorithm is not known. It has been shown that whenever the treewidth of an auxiliary structure known as the display graph is strictly larger than the number of input trees, the instance is incompatible. Here we show that whenever the treewidth of the display graph is at most 2, the instance is compatible. Furthermore, we give a polynomial-time algorithm to construct a supertree in this case. Finally, we demonstrate both compatible and incompatible instances that have display graphs with treewidth 3, highlighting that the treewidth of the display graph is (on its own) not sufficient to determine compatibility.
