Why Large Closest String Instances Are Easy to Solve in Practice
We initiate the study of the smoothed complexity of the Closest String problem by proposing a semi-random model of Hamming distance. We restrict interest to the optimization versio...

LCS Approximation via Embedding into Local Non-repetitive Strings
A classical measure of similarity between strings is the length of the longest common subsequence(LCS) between the two given strings. The search for efficient algorithms for findi...

Restricted Transposition Invariant Approximate String Matching Under Edit Distance
Let A and B be strings with lengths m and n, respectively, over a finite integer alphabet. Two classic string mathing problems are computing the edit distance between A and B, and...

Testing Periodicity
A string α ∈ Σn is called p-periodic, if for every i, j ∈ {1, . . . , n}, such that i ≡ j mod p, αi = αj, where αi is the i-th place of α. A string α ∈ Σn is said t...

Reversal Distance for Strings with Duplicates: Linear Time Approximation using Hitting Set
In the last decade there has been an ongoing interest in string comparison problems; to a large extend the interest was stimulated by genome rearrangement problems in computationa...
