Corrigendum to "Best match graphs"

J Math Biol. 2021 Apr 5;82(6):47. doi: 10.1007/s00285-021-01601-6.

Abstract

Two errors in the article Best Match Graphs (Geiß et al. in JMB 78: 2015-2057, 2019) are corrected. One concerns the tacit assumption that digraphs are sink-free, which has to be added as an additional precondition in Lemma 9, Lemma 11, Theorem 4. Correspondingly, Algorithm 2 requires that its input is sink-free. The second correction concerns an additional necessary condition in Theorem 9 required to characterize best match graphs. The amended results simplify the construction of least resolved trees for n-cBMGs, i.e., Algorithm 1. All other results remain unchanged and are correct as stated.
