Phylogenetic Applications of the Minimum Contradiction Approach on Continuous Characters

We describe the conditions under which a set of continuous variables or characters can be described as an X-tree or a split network. A distance matrix corresponds exactly to a split network or a valued X-tree if, after ordering of the taxa, the variables values can be embedded into a function with a...
