The Wiener index is analyzed for random recursive trees and random binary search trees in the uniform probabilistic models. We obtain the expectations, asymptotics for the varianc...
Consider two locally finite rooted trees as equivalent if each of them is a topological minor of the other, with an embedding preserving the tree-order. Answering a question of va...
The inference of consensus from a set of evolutionary trees is a fundamental problem in a number of fields such as biology and historical linguistics, and many models for inferrin...
Barrier trees are a convenient way of representing the structure of complex combinatorial landscapes over graphs. Here we generalize the concept of barrier trees to landscapes de...
We propose the use of scatter search with path relinking for the inference of phylogenetic trees. Solutions are here represented as trees whose leaves span the set of species unde...
