- Title
- Four characters suffice to convexly define a phylogenetic tree

- Description
It was recently shown that just five characters (functions on a finite set X) suffice to convexly define a trivalent tree with leaf set X. Here we show that four characters suffice which, since three characters is not enough in general, is the best possible.
