Algorithms for Combining Rooted Triplets into a Galled Phylogenetic Network, Fig. 1
figure 17 figure 17

A dense set \(\mathcal{T} =\{ ab\vert c,\,ab\vert d,\,cd\vert a,\,bc\vert d\}\) of rooted triplets with leaf set {a, b, c, d} and a galled phylogenetic network that is consistent with \(\mathcal{T}\). Note that this solution is not unique
