Abstract

The fastest known algorithms for computing the R* consensus tree of k rooted phylogenetic trees with n leaves each and identical leaf label sets run in O(n2 √ log n) time when k = 2 (ref. [10]) and O(kn3) time when k ≥ 3 (ref. [4]). This paper shows how to compute it in O(n2) time for k = 2, O(n2 log4/3n) time for k = 3, and O(n2 logk+2n) time for unbounded k.
