Frequent pattern mining is a flagship problem in data mining. In its most basic form, it asks for the set of substrings of a given string $S$ of length $n$ that occur at least $\tau$ times in $S$, for some integer $\tau\in[1,n]$. We…

The longest common substring with $k$-mismatches problem is to find, given two strings $S_1$ and $S_2$, a longest substring $A_1$ of $S_1$ and $A_2$ of $S_2$ such that the Hamming distance between $A_1$ and $A_2$ is $\le k$. We introduce a…

Longest Common Subsequence ($LCS$) deals with the problem of measuring similarity of two strings. While this problem has been analyzed for decades, the recent interest stems from a practical observation that considering single characters is…
