This study develops an algorithm to solve a variation of the Shortest Common Superstring (SCS) problem. There are two modifications to the base SCS problem. First, one string in the set S is allowed to have up to K mistakes, defined as not…
Although, the Hamiltonicity of solid grid graphs are polynomial-time decidable, the complexity of the longest cycle problem in these graphs is still open. In this paper, by presenting a linear-time constant-factor approximation algorithm,…

Given two {0,1}-sequences X and Y of lengths m and n, respectively, we write L(X,Y) to denote the length of the longest common subsequence (LCS) of X and Y, and write L(m,n) to denote the expected value of L(X,Y) when X and Y are random…

The Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) is the problem of finding a subsequence among a set of strings that has two properties of being common to all and is the longest. The LCS has applications in computational biology and text editing, among…
We revisit the longest common extension (LCE) problem, that is, preprocess a string $T$ into a compact data structure that supports fast LCE queries. An LCE query takes a pair $(i,j)$ of indices in $T$ and returns the length of the longest…
