Let T be a weighted tree with n numbered leaves and let D = (D (i, j))i, j be its distance matrix, so D (i, j) is the distance between the leaves i and j. If m is an integer satisfying 2 ≤ m ≤ n, we prove a tropical formula to compute the m-dissimilarity map of T (i.e. the weights of the subtrees of T with m leaves), given D. For m = 3, we present a tropical description of the set of m-dissimilarity maps of trees. For m = 4, a partial result is given.

Abstract

Let T be a weighted tree with n numbered leaves and let D = (D (i, j))i, j be its distance matrix, so D (i, j) is the distance between the leaves i and j. If m is an integer satisfying 2 ≤ m ≤ n, we prove a tropical formula to compute the m-dissimilarity map of T (i.e. the weights of the subtrees of T with m leaves), given D. For m = 3, we present a tropical description of the set of m-dissimilarity maps of trees. For m = 4, a partial result is given.
