简介
We compare the phylogenetic tensors for various trees and networks for two, three and four taxa. If the probability spaces between one tree or network and another are not identical then there will be phylogenetic tensors that could have arisen on one but not the other. We call these two trees or networks distinguishable from each other. We show that for the binary symmetric model there are no two-taxon trees and networks that are distinguishable from each other, however there are three-taxon trees and networks that are distinguishable from each other. We compare the time parameters for the phylogenetic tensors for various taxon label permutations on a given tree or network. If the time parameters on one taxon label permutation in terms of the other taxon label permutation are all non-negative then we say that the two taxon label permutations are not network identifiable from each other. We show that some taxon label permutations are network identifiable from each other. We show that some four-taxon networks satisfy the four-point condition. Of the two "shapes" of four-taxon rooted trees, one is defined by the cluster, b,c,d, labelling taxa alphabetically from left to right. The network with this shape and convergence between the two taxa with the root as their most recent common ancestor satisfies the four-point condition. The phylogenetic tensors contain polynomial equations that cannot be easily solved for four-taxon or higher trees or networks. We show how methods from algebraic geometry, such as Gr\"obner bases, can be used to solve the polynomial equations. We show that some four-taxon trees and networks can be distinguished from …
