Finding the common subsequences of $L$ multiple strings has many applications in the area of bioinformatics, computational linguistics, and information retrieval. A well-known result states that finding a Longest Common Subsequence (LCS)…
Longest common subsequence (LCS) is one of the most fundamental problems in combinatorial optimization. Apart from theoretical importance, LCS has enormous applications in bioinformatics, revision control systems, and data comparison…
Pattern matching is a fundamental process in almost every scientific domain. The problem involves finding the positions of a given pattern (usually of short length) in a reference stream of data (usually of large length). The matching can…
Given a text and a pattern over an alphabet, the pattern matching problem searches for all occurrences of the pattern in the text. An equivalence relation $\approx$ is called a substring consistent equivalence relation (SCER), if for two…
Two important similarity measures between sequences are the longest common subsequence (LCS) and the dynamic time warping distance (DTWD). The computations of these measures for two given sequences are central tasks in a variety of…
A classical measure of string comparison is given by the longest common subsequence (LCS) problem on a pair of strings. We consider its generalisation, called the semi-local LCS problem, which arises naturally in many string-related…
The most fundamental problem considered in algorithms for text processing is pattern matching: given a pattern $p$ of length $m$ and a text $t$ of length $n$, does $p$ occur in $t$? Multiple versions of this basic question have been…
The Longest Common Increasing Subsequence problem (LCIS) is a natural variant of the celebrated Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) problem. For LCIS, as well as for LCS, there is an $O(n^2)$-time algorithm and a SETH-based conditional lower…
Exact pattern matching in labeled graphs is the problem of searching paths of a graph $G=(V,E)$ that spell the same string as the pattern $P[1..m]$. This basic problem can be found at the heart of more complex operations on variation graphs…

The longest common extension (LCE) of two indices in a string is the length of the longest identical substrings starting at these two indices. The LCE problem asks to preprocess a string into a compact data structure that supports fast LCE…
The constrained LCS problem asks one to find a longest common subsequence of two input strings $A$ and $B$ with some constraints. The STR-IC-LCS problem is a variant of the constrained LCS problem, where the solution must include a given…
The Cover Suffix Tree (CST) of a string $T$ is the suffix tree of $T$ with additional explicit nodes corresponding to halves of square substrings of $T$. In the CST an explicit node corresponding to a substring $C$ of $T$ is annotated with…
The recently introduced longest common substring with $k$-mismatches ($k$-LCF) problem is to find, given two sequences $S_1$ and $S_2$ of length $n$ each, a longest substring $A_1$ of $S_1$ and $A_2$ of $S_2$ such that the Hamming distance…
Two recent lower bounds on the compressibility of repetitive sequences, $\delta \le \gamma$, have received much attention. It has been shown that a length-$n$ string $S$ over an alphabet of size $\sigma$ can be represented within the…

Given a text $T$ of length $n$ and a pattern $P$ of length $m$, the string matching problem is a task to find all occurrences of $P$ in $T$. In this study, we propose an algorithm that solves this problem in $O((n + m)q)$ time considering…
Given two strings $S$ and $P$, the Episode Matching problem is to find the shortest substring of $S$ that contains $P$ as a subsequence. The best known upper bound for this problem is $\tilde O(nm)$ by Das et al. (1997) , where $n,m$ are…
This paper shows that a simple algorithm produces the {\em all-prefixes-LCSs-graph} in $O(mn)$ time for two input sequences of size $m$ and $n$. Given any prefix $p$ of the first input sequence and any prefix $q$ of the second input…
