Tree edit distance is a well-studied measure of dissimilarity between rooted trees with node labels. It can be computed in $O(n^3)$ time [Demaine, Mozes, Rossman, and Weimann, ICALP 2007], and fine-grained hardness results suggest that the…

The unordered tree edit distance is a natural metric to compute distances between trees without intrinsic child order, such as representations of chemical molecules. While the unordered tree edit distance is MAX SNP-hard in principle, it is…
The normalized edit distance is one of the distances derived from the edit distance. It is useful in some applications because it takes into account the lengths of the two strings compared. The normalized edit distance is not defined in…

Tree rotations (left and right) are basic local deformations allowing to transform between two unlabeled binary trees of the same size. Hence, there is a natural problem of practically finding such transformation path with low number of…
