Tóm tắt

The number of trees withn labeled terminal vertices grows too rapidly withn to permit exhaustive searches for Steiner trees or other kinds of optima in cladistics and related areas Often, however, structured constraints are known and may be imposed on the set of trees to be scanned These constraints may be formulated in terms of a consensus among the trees to be searched We calculate the reduction in the number of trees to be enumerated as a function of properties of the imposed consensus
