A simpler linear-time algorithm for the common refinement of rooted phylogenetic trees on a common leaf set

Background: The supertree problem, i.e., the task of finding a common refinement of a set of rooted trees is an important topic in mathematical phylogenetics. The special case of a common leaf set L is known to be solvable in linear time. Existing approaches refine one input tree using information o...
