Information Theoretic Approaches to Whole Genome Phylogenies
We describe a novel method for efficient reconstruction of phylogenetic trees, based on sequences of whole genomes or proteomes, whose lengths may greatly vary. The core of our me...

Minimum Bounded Degree Spanning Trees
We consider the minimum cost spanning tree problem under the restriction that all degrees must be at most a given value k. We show that we can efficiently find a spanning tree o...

A 5/3-Approximation for Finding Spanning Trees with Many Leaves in Cubic Graphs
For a connected graph G, let L(G) denote the maximum number of leaves in a spanning tree in G. The problem of computing L(G) is known to be NP-hard even for cubic graphs. We improv...

Balanced Randomized Tree Splitting with Applications to Evolutionary Tree Constructions
We present a new technique called balanced randomized tree splitting. It is useful in constructing unknown trees recursively. By applying it we obtain two new results on efficient ...

A Lower Bound for the Breakpoint Phylogeny Problem
Breakpoint phylogenies methods have been shown to be an effective way to extract phylogenetic information from gene order data. Currently, the only practical breakpoint phylogeny a...
