If m is an integer between 2 and n, we prove a tropical formula to compute the m-dissimilarity map of T (i.e. the weights of the subtrees of T with m leaves), given D. For m equal to 3, we present a tropical description of the set of m-dissimilarity maps of trees. For m equal to 4, a partial result is given.13 pagesAlgebraic GeometryCombinatorics05C05, 05C12, 14M15, 14Q99, 15A99, 92B05A tropical interpretation of m-dissimilarity mapstext
