Summary :

A tree embedded in a plane can be characterized as an unrooted and cyclically ordered tree (CO-tree). This paper describes new definitions of three distances between CO-trees and their computing methods. The proposed distances are based on the Tai Mapping, the structure preserving mapping and the strongly structure preserving mapping, respectively, and are called the Tai distance (TD), the structure preserving distance (SPD) and the strongly structure preserving distance (SSPD), respectively. The definitions of distances and their computing methods are simpler than those of the old definitions and computing methods, respectively. TD and SPD by the new definitions are more sensitive than those by the old ones, and SSPDs by both definitions are equivalent. The time complexities of computing TD, SPD and SSPD between CO-trees Ta and Tb are OT (N2aN2a), OT(maNaN2b) and OT(mambNaNb), respectively, where Na(Nb) and ma(mb) are the number of vertices in tree Ta(Tb)and the maximum degree of a vertex in Ta(Tb), respectively. The space complexities of these methods are OS(NaNb).
