摘要
A cladogram is a tree with labelled leaves and unlabelled degree-3 branchpoints. A certain Markov chain on the set of n-leaf cladograms consists of removing a random leaf (and its incident edge) and re-attaching it to a random edge. We show that the mixing time (time to approach the uniform stationary distribution) for this chain is at least O(n(2)) and at most O(n(3)).
