A note on tree realizations of matrices
RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle, Tome 41 (2007) no. 4, pp. 361-366.

It is well known that each tree metric M has a unique realization as a tree, and that this realization minimizes the total length of the edges among all other realizations of M. We extend this result to the class of symmetric matrices M with zero diagonal, positive entries, and such that m ij +m kl ≤max{m ik +m jl ,m il +m jk } for all distinct i,j,k,l.
