An Optimal Algorithm To Recognize Robinsonian Dissimilarities
Résumé
A dissimilarity D on a finite set S is said to be Robinsonian if S can be totally ordered in such a way that, for every $i < j < k, D(i, j) ≤ D(i, k)$ and $D(j, k) ≤ D(i, k)$. Intuitively, D is Robinsonian if S can be represented by points on a line. Recognizing Robinsonian dissimilarities has many applications in se-riation and classification. In this paper, we present an optimal $O(n 2)$ algorithm to recognize Robinsonian dissimilarities, where n is the cardinal of S. Our result improves the already known algorithms.
