Abstract

A deterministic algorithm for building the majority rule consensus tree of an input collection of conflicting phylogenetic trees with identical leaf labels is presented. Its worst-case running time is O(n k), where n is the size of the leaf label set and k is the number of input phylogenetic trees. This is optimal since the input size is Ω(n k). Experimental results show that the algorithm is fast in practice.
