abstract = "A node-labeled rooted tree T (with root r) is an all-or-nothing subtree (called AoN-subtree) of a node-labeled rooted tree T′ if (1) T is a subtree of the tree rooted at some node u (with the same label as r) of T′, (2) for each internal node v of T, all the neighbors of v in T′ are the neighbors of v in T. Tree T′ is then called an AoN-supertree of T. Given a set of n node-labeled rooted trees, smallest common AoN-supertree problem seeks the smallest possible node-labeled rooted tree (denoted as ) such that every tree Ti in is an AoN-subtree of . It generalizes the smallest superstring problem and it has applications in glycobiology. We present a polynomial-time greedy algorithm with approximation ratio 6.",
