Ordered and unordered tree inclusion:

Abstract: "We consider the following problem: Given labeled trees P and T, can P be obtained from T by deleting nodes? Deleting a node v entails removing all edges incident to v, and if v has a parent u, replacing the edge from u to v by edges from u to the children of v. The problem is motivat...

Summary:Abstract: "We consider the following problem: Given labeled trees P and T, can P be obtained from T by deleting nodes? Deleting a node v entails removing all edges incident to v, and if v has a parent u, replacing the edge from u to v by edges from u to the children of v. The problem is motivated by the study of query languages for structured text data bases. Simple solutions to this problem require exponential time. For ordered trees we present an algorithm that requires [formula] time and space. We also consider the corresponding problem for unordered trees and give a proof of its NP-completeness."
