A Comparison of Well-Quasi Orders on Trees

Well-quasi orders such as homeomorphic embedding are commonly used to ensure termination of program analysis and program transformation, in particular supercompilation. We compare eight well-quasi orders on how discriminative they are and their computational complexity. The studied well-quasi orders...
