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...

The Shortest Common Supersequence Problem (SCSP) is a well-known hard combinatorial optimization problem that formalizes many real world problems. This paper presents a novel rando...

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...
—We propose new algorithms for computing pairwise rearrangement scenarios that conserve the combinatorial structure of genomes. More precisely, we investigate the problem of sort...
