2.2.2 Projective Trees

  1. How does the Eisner algorithm differ from Chu-Liu-Edmonds?
    It finds the maximum projective spanning tree in \(O(n^3)\) by bottom-up dynamic programming, which is needed to maintain the nested, non-crossing structure. Chu-Liu-Edmonds is greedy and recursive and needn’t enforce non-crossing.
