  bibo_abstract:
  - "We are given a set T = {T 1 ,T 2 , . . .,T k } of rooted binary trees, each T
    i leaf-labeled by a subset L(Ti)⊂{1,2,...,n} . If T is a tree on {1,2, . . .,n
    }, we let T|L denote the minimal subtree of T induced by the nodes of L and all
    their ancestors. The consensus tree problem asks whether there exists a tree T
    * such that, for every i , T∗|L(Ti) is homeomorphic to T i .\r\n\r\nWe present
    algorithms which test if a given set of trees has a consensus tree and if so,
    construct one. The deterministic algorithm takes time min{O(N n 1/2 ), O(N+ n
    2 log n )}, where N=∑i|Ti| , and uses linear space. The randomized algorithm takes
    time O(N log3 n) and uses linear space. The previous best for this problem was
    a 1981 O(Nn) algorithm by Aho et al. Our faster deterministic algorithm uses a
    new efficient algorithm for the following interesting dynamic graph problem: Given
    a graph G with n nodes and m edges and a sequence of b batches of one or more
    edge deletions, then, after each batch, either find a new component that has just
    been created or determine that there is no such component. For this problem, we
    have a simple algorithm with running time O(n 2 log n + b 0 min{n 2 , m log n
    }), where b 0 is the number of batches which do not result in a new component.
    For our particular application, b0≤1 . If all edges are deleted, then the best
    previously known deterministic algorithm requires time O(mn−−√) to solve this
    problem. We also present two applications of these consensus tree algorithms which
    solve other problems in computational evolutionary biology.@eng"
