We investigate the shortest common superstring problem (SCSSP). As SCSSP is APX-complete it cannot be approximated within an arbitrarily small performance ratio. One heuristic tha...
Abstract. The input to the Shortest Common Superstring (SCS) problem is a set S of k words of total length n. In the classical version the output is an explicit word SCS(S) in whic...

For every string inclusion relation there are two optimization problems: find a longest string included in every string of a given finite language, and find a shortest string in...
Abstract. We consider the network design problem which consists in determining at minimum cost a 2-edge connected network such that the shortest cycle (a "ring") to which...
