From Lemma 6.3 we have
H contains an element in w∈W
η ( T ( w )).Let w 1 and w 2 be such that
η ( v 1 )+ η ( v 2 )= γ ( w 1 ) and η ( v 1 )+ η ( v 3 )= γ ( w 2 ),forsome v 1 , v 2 ,and v 3 .Let

Since this is a contradiction, we have that T ( w )=

We continue our investigation by exploring the effects of restricting the num-
ber of times a haplotype can be used to form a genotype. This makes sense realis-
tically since in many populations the mating structure is not random. For example,
many species have a unique mate for life, which means their haplotypes are only
used in conjunction with the haplotypes of another individual. To make this pre-
cise, we reduce the edge set of the initial graph. For any
E ⊆E
we define the
E to be deg E ( v )=

The value of this optimization problem is denoted φ ( m )=
, and if the prob-
lem is infeasible, we let φ ( m )=
. As an example, consider the graph in Fig. 6.1,
which is easily seen to support diversity. Since deg( w i )=2for all i except 3,the
only solution is η (
{
v i : i =1 , 2 ,..., 9
}
).If m =1, then each v can be adjacent
E . This means we must be able to associate a
to at most one w with respect to
unique pair in
. Biologically this means that each parent
can donate one of its two haplotypes to a unique child. Since this is impossible for
this graph, we have that φ (1) =

. Notice that in general we have φ (1) is either
