Ph. D. Thesis Summary
My thesis was devoted to the combinatorial study of phylogenetic trees and tree metrics, and to the algorithmic uses of the obtained properties. Phylogenetic (i.e., additive) trees were first characterized in Russia by Zaretskii (1965), and later generalized by Buneman (1971). The interest in their study grew considerably in the eighties, when the diversity of their domains of application was perceived. They have been used, for instance, in coding theory, in cognitive psychology (as models for subjective distances), in archaeology (for the relation of manuscripts), in linguistics (for distances between natural languages) and, more generally, in all situations where a bifurcation model can be postulated or used. Currently, most of the contributions to these metrics are motivated by their role in phylogenetics, where they represent an intuitive model for molecular distances. An important part of the literature on this subject is devoted to the methods (algorithms and programs) for the fitting of a tree metric to an observed distance (dissimilarity) matrix. Problems of this type are generally NP-hard and the methods are heuristic. The original contributions of this thesis were three-fold. New combinatorial properties of tree metrics were obtained. These properties were used for the design of optimal and original algorithms for the recognition and the fitting of tree metrics. These algorithms were implemented in C++ programming language (for Windows 95, MS-DOS and UNIX platforms) and combined with several programs of optimization and statistical data generation into a program library. Numerous tests of the introduced algorithms on real and artificial data have demonstrated their advantage relative to some of the most popular traditional methods dealing with tree structures.
