Linear-time algorithms for phylogenetic tree completion under Robinson–Foulds distance

Abstract Background We consider two fundamental computational problems that arise when comparing phylogenetic trees, rooted or unrooted, with non-identical leaf sets. The first problem arises when comparing two trees where the leaf set of one tree is a proper subset of the other. The second problem...
