Abstract(in English) A phylogenetic tree is a tree data structure which shows evolutionary interrelationships among species which are believed to have a common ancestor. Numerous methods of inferring phylogenetic trees from genetic information have been researched. Moreover, some data structures which are slightly different from phylogenetic trees have been proposed to infer. On the other hand, pedigrees can be regarded as more informed phylogenetic trees. Phylogenetic trees can be represented by directed trees, whereas pedigrees are represented by directed acyclic graphs whose indegrees are at most two. In this paper, we deal with a problem in which our algorithm enumerates all pedigrees which satisfy given genetic distances between two nodes. We show that the output pedigrees can be represented by one directed graph without increasing the number of nodes. Moreover, O(n^3)-time algorithm which solves the problem is also given.
