Abstract

We consider a problem of inferring an ordered tree from a set of local constraints on its leaves which we term as the ordered local consensus tree problem. Using our efficient decremental interval union algorithm, we show that the ordered local consensus tree problem for m constraints on n leaves can be deterministically solved in time O((m+n) log n): We also show that the related optimization problem of constructing an ordered local consensus tree for the maximum number of 3-leaf constraints is solvable in cubic time.
