Comparing Hierarchical Data in External Memory

Summary: External-memory algorithm for minimum-cost edit script between rooted, ordered, labeled trees; I/O 4*m1*n1 + 7*m1 + 5*n1, RAM 6*S, CPU O((M*N+(M+N)*S)^1.5). Extends sequence-comparison to trees via shortest-path problems in edit graphs; uses surplus RAM to quadratically reduce I/O. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
