We answer Bryant's combinatorial challenge on minimal walks of phylogenetic treespace under the nearest-neighbor interchange (NNI) metric. We show that the shortest path through the NNI-treespace of n-leaf trees is Hamiltonian for all n. That is, there is a minimal path that visits all binary trees exactly once, under NNI moves.
我们回答了 Bryant 提出的关于在最近邻交换(NNI)度量下的系统发育树空间中的最短路径问题。我们证明了对于所有的 n 叶树,NNI 树空间中的最短路径是哈密顿路径。也就是说,在 NNI 操作下,存在一条经过所有二叉树恰好一次的最短路径。
