Title
'Bureaucratic' set systems, and their role in phylogenetics.
Abstract
We say that a collection C of subsets of X is bureaucratic if every maximal hierarchy on X contained in C is also maximum. We characterize bureaucratic set systems and show how they arise in phylogenetics. This framework has several useful algorithmic consequences: we generalize some earlier results and derive a polynomial-time algorithm for a parsimony problem arising in phylogenetic networks.
