Abstract

We present a fast algorithm for optimal alignment between two similar ordered trees with node labels. Let S and T be two such trees with |S| and |T| nodes, respectively. An optimal alignment between S and T which uses at most d blank symbols can be constructed in O(n log n. (maxdeg)4. d2) time, where n = maxf{|S|,|T|} and maxdeg is the maximum degree of a node in S or T. In particular, if the input trees are of bounded degree, the running time is O(n log n. d2).
