We consider computing the longest palindrome in a text of length $n$ in the streaming model, where the characters arrive one-by-one, and we do not have random access to the input. While computing the answer exactly using sublinear memory is…

We study the classic set cover problem in the streaming model: the sets that comprise the instance are revealed one by one in a stream and the goal is to solve the problem by making one or few passes over the stream while maintaining a…

The longest common subsequence (LCS) is a fundamental problem in string processing which has numerous algorithmic studies, extensions, and applications. A sequence $u_1, \ldots, u_f$ of $f$ strings s said to be an ($f$-)segmentation of a…

The edit distance between strings classically assigns unit cost to every character insertion, deletion, and substitution, whereas the Hamming distance only allows substitutions. In many real-life scenarios, insertions and deletions…

It has been proven that, when normalized by $n$, the expected length of a longest common subsequence of $d$ random strings of length $n$ over an alphabet of size $\sigma$ converges to some constant that depends only on $d$ and $\sigma$.…

Edit-distance-based string similarity search has many applications such as spell correction, data de-duplication, and sequence alignment. However, computing edit distance is known to have high complexity, which makes string similarity…
