The nearest neighbor interchange (nni) distance is a classical metric for measuring the distance (dissimilarity) between evolutionary trees. It has been known that computing the nni distance is NP-complete. Existing approximation algorithms can attain an approximation ratio log n for unweighted trees and 4 log n for weighted trees; yet these algorithms are limited to degree-3 trees. This paper extends the study of nni distance to trees with non-uniform degrees. We formulate the necessary and sufficient conditions for nni transformation and devise more topology-sensitive approximation algorithms to handle trees with non-uniform degrees. The approximation ratios are respectively [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for unweighted and weighted trees, where d ≥ 4 is the maximum degree of the input trees.

The length of the main channel in a river network is viewed as an extreme value statistic L on a randomly weighted binary rooted tree having M sources. Questions of concern for hydrologic applications are formulated as the construction of an extreme value theory for a dependence which poses an interesting contrast to the classical independent theory. Equivalently, the distribution of the extinction time for a binary branching process given a large number of progeny is sought. Our main result is that in the case of exponentially weighted trees, the conditional distribution of n–1/2 L given M = n is asymptotically distributed as the maximum of a Brownian excursion. When taken with an earlier result of Kolchin (1978), this makes the maximum of the Brownian excursion a tree-dependent extreme value distribution whose domain of attraction includes both the exponentially distributed and almost surely constant weights. Moment computations are given for the Brownian excursion which are of independent interest.

In the postal model of message passing systems, the actual communication network between processors is abstracted by a single communication latency factor, which measures the inverse ratio of the time it takes for a processor to send a message and the time that passes until the recipient receives the message. In this paper we examine the problem of broadcasting multiple messages in an order-preserving fashion in the postal model. We prove lower bounds for all parameter ranges and show that these lower bounds are within a factor of seven of the best upper bounds. In some cases, our lower bounds show significant asymptotic improvements over the previous best lower bounds.
