The approximate string matching problem is to find all locations at which a query of length m matches a substring of a text of length n with k-or-fewer differences. Simple and prac...
A method for measuring dissimilarities between cyclic strings is introduced. It computes a weighted mean between two (lower and upper) bounds of the exact cyclic edit distance, wh...
Filtering is a standard technique for fast approximate string matching in practice. In filtering, a quick first step is used to rule out almost all positions of a text as possib...
String matching with mismatches is a basic concept of information retrieval with some kinds of approximation. This paper proposes an FFT-based algorithm for the problem of string ...
We present a new bit-parallel technique for approximate string matching. We build on two previous techniques. The first one, BPM [Myers, J. of the ACM, 1999], searches for a patte...
