Phylogenetic Toric Varieties on Graphs
(2010-10-12)
We define the phylogenetic model of a trivalent graph as a generalization of a
binary symmetric model of a trivalent phylogenetic tree. If the underlining graph is a
tree, the model has a parametrization that can be expressed ...
Advancement of Erosion Testing, Modeling, and Design of Concrete Pavement Subbase Layers
