A constrained edit distance between unordered labeled trees. Zhang, K. Algorithmica, 15(3):205–222, Springer New York, 1996.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
This paper considers the problem of computing a constrained edit distance between unordered labeled trees. The problem of approximate unordered tree matching is also considered. We present dynamic programming algorithms solving these problems in sequential timeO(|T1| |T2| (deg(T1)+deg(T2)) log2(deg(T1)+deg(T2))). Our previous result shows that computing the edit distance between unordered labeled trees is NP-complete.
