A Linear-Time Approximation Algorithm for Rotation Distance

Published 2 Mar 2009 in cs.DS | (0903.0199v2)

Abstract: Rotation distance between rooted binary trees measures the number of simple operations it takes to transform one tree into another. There are no known polynomial-time algorithms for computing rotation distance. We give an efficient, linear-time approximation algorithm, which estimates the rotation distance, within a provable factor of 2, between ordered rooted binary trees. .
