Recently there has been considerable interest in the problem of finding a
phylogenetic network with a minimum number of reticulation vertices which
displays a given set of phylogenetic trees, that is, a network with minimum
hybrid number. Even so, for certain evolutionary scenarios insisting that a
network displays the set of trees can be an overly restrictive assumption. In
this paper, we consider the less restrictive notion of displaying called weakly
displaying and, in particular, a special case of this which we call rigidly
displaying. We characterize when two trees can be rigidly displayed by a
temporal tree-child network in terms of fork-picking sequences, a concept that
is closely related to that of cherry-picking sequences. We also show that, in
case it exists, the rigid hybrid number for two phylogenetic trees is given by
a minimum weight fork-picking sequence for the trees, and that the rigid hybrid
number can be quite different from the related beaded- and temporal-hybrid
numbers.
