We study the parameterized complexity of inferring supertrees from sets of rooted triplets, an important problem in phylogenetics. For a set of labels and a dense set of triplets distinctly leaf-labeled by 3-subsets of , we seek a tree distinctly leaf-labeled by and containing all but at most triplets from? as homeomorphic subtree. Our results are the first polynomial kernel for this problem, with labels, and a subexponential fixed-parameter algorithm running in time .
