Abstract

This paper presents two new deterministic algorithms for constructing consensus trees. Given an input of k phylogenetic trees with identical leaf label sets and n leaves each, the first algorithm constructs the majority rule (+) consensus tree in O(k n) time, which is optimal since the input size is Ω(k n), and the second one constructs the frequency difference consensus tree in min {O(kn2), O(k n (k + log2n))} time.
