A Counterexample to the Order Relation Between Largest Common Subtree and Smallest Common Supertree
摘要
We present a counterexample to the order relation between the largest common subtree and the smallest common supertree as claimed by Rosselló and Valiente (Theor Comput Sci 362(1–3):33–53, 2006). Furthermore, we demonstrate that knowing the solution to one of these problems does not substantially simplify the computation of the other; solving the second problem still requires processing information linear in the size of the original trees.
