An orientable sequence of order $n$ is a cyclic binary sequence such that each length-$n$ substring appears at most once \emph{in either direction}. Maximal length orientable sequences are known only for $n\leq 7$, and a trivial upper bound…

This paper investigates the approximability of the Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) problem. The fastest algorithm for solving the LCS problem exactly runs in essentially quadratic time in the length of the input, and it is known that under…

We give a near-optimal quantum algorithm for the longest common substring (LCS) problem between two run-length encoded (RLE) strings, with the assumption that the prefix-sums of the run-lengths are given. Our algorithm costs…

In this paper, we consider the ``Shortest Superstring Problem''(SSP) or the ``Shortest Common Superstring Problem''(SCS). The problem is as follows. For a positive integer $n$, a sequence of n strings $S=(s^1,\dots,s^n)$ is given. We should…

We consider the canonical Subset Sum problem: given a list of positive integers $a_1,\ldots,a_n$ and a target integer $t$ with $t > a_i$ for all $i$, determine if there is an $S \subseteq [n]$ such that $\sum_{i \in S} a_i = t$. The…

The longest common subsequence (LCS) problem is a central problem in stringology that finds the longest common subsequence of given two strings $A$ and $B$. More recently, a set of four constrained LCS problems (called generalized…

We revisit the classic combinatorial pattern matching problem of finding a longest common subsequence (LCS). For strings $x$ and $y$ of length $n$, a textbook algorithm solves LCS in time $O(n^2)$, but although much effort has been spent,…

Let $T$ be a string of length $n$ over an integer alphabet of size $\sigma$. In the word RAM model, $T$ can be represented in $O(n /\log_\sigma n)$ space. We show that a representation of all covers of $T$ can be computed in the optimal…
