Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The largest common subtree problem (LCST) is to find a tree with the maximum number of edges that is a subtree of all the input $N$ trees.
It has been known that LCST can be solved in polynomial time if $N=2$, while LCST is NP-hard if $N>2$. The paper shows that LCST is NP-hard even if $N>2$ and the pathwidth of every input tree is one.
We also show that LCST is NP-hard even if $N=3$ and the pathwidth of every input tree is two, while LCST is solvable in polynomial time if $N=O(1)$ and the pathwidth of every input tree is one.
