چکیده

The relationship between two important problems in tree pattern matching, the largest common subtree and the smallest common supertree problems, is established by means of simple constructions, which allow one to obtain a largest common subtree of two trees from a smallest common supertree of them, and vice versa. These constructions are the same for isomorphic, homeomorphic, topological, and minor embeddings, they take only time linear in the size of the trees, and they turn out to have a clear algebraic meaning.

Maximum agreement and compatible supertrees

Given a collection of trees on leaves with identical leaf set, the MAST, resp. MCT, problem consists in finding a largest subset of the leaves such that all input trees restricted to this set are identical, resp. have a common refinement. For MAST, resp. MCT, on rooted trees, we give an algorithm, where and is the smallest number of leaves whose removal leads to the existence of an agreement su...

A Strong Regular Relation on ?-Semihyperrings

The concept of algebraic hyperstructures introduced by Marty as a generalization of ordinary algebraic structures. In an ordinary algebraic structure, the composition of two elements is an element, while in an algebraic hyperstructure, the composition of two elements is a set. The concept of ?-semihyperrings is a generalization of semirings, a generalization of semihyper‌rings and a generalizat...

On the Approximation of Largest Common Subtrees and Largest Common Point Sets

This paper considers the approximability of the largest common subtree and the largest common subgraph problems, which have applications in molecular biology. It is shown that approximating the problems within a factor of n is NP-complete, while a general search algorithm which approximates both problems within a factor of O(n= logn) is presented. Moreover, several variants of the largest commo...
