Abstract excerpt
We study distorted metrics on binary trees in the context of phylogenetic reconstruction. Given a binary tree T on n leaves with a path metric d, consider the pairwise distances {d(u,v)} between leaves. It is well known that these determine the tree and the d length of all edges. Here, we consider distortions [symbol: see text] of d such that, for all leaves u and v, it holds that absolute value(d(u,v) - [symbol:...
