چکیده

The purpose of this paper is to extend the definition of Fr\'echet distance which measures the distance between two curves to a distance (Fr\'echet-Like distance) which measures the similarity between two rooted trees.In this paper, I prove that the Fr\'echet-Like distance between two trees is SNP-hard to compute. Later, I modify the definition of Fr\'echet-Like distance to measure the distance between two merge trees, and I prove the relation between the interleaving distance and the modified Fr\'echet-Like distance.
