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."}],"date_created":"2022-07-27T15:02:28Z","quality_controlled":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"month":"05","article_type":"original","page":"1-13","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"earlier_version","status":"public","id":"11927"}]},"day":"01","publication_status":"published","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","citation":{"apa":"Henzinger, M., King, V., & Warnow, T.
