Abstract

In this paper we consider the weighted kk-Hamming and kk-Edit distances, that are natural generalizations of the classical Hamming and Edit distances. As main results of this paper we prove that for any k2k\geq 2 the DECIS-kk-Hamming problem is P\mathbb{P}-SPACE-complete and the DECIS-kk-Edit problem is NEXPTIME-complete.
