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...

On The Closest String and Substring Problems
Abstract. The problem of finding a center string that is "close" to every given string arises in computational molecular biology and coding theory. This problem has two v...

A Three-String Approach to the Closest String Problem
Given a set of n strings of length L and a radius d, the closest string problem (CSP for short) asks for a string tsol that is within a Hamming distance of d to each of the given ...

A data-based coding of candidate strings in the closest string problem
Given a set of strings S of equal lengths over an alphabet Σ, the closest string problem seeks a string over Σ whose maximum Hamming distance to any of the given strings is as s...
