We present a Boyer-Moore approach to string matching over LZ78 and LZW compressed text. The key idea is that, despite that we cannot exactly choose which text characters to inspect...
Abstract. We present a solution to the problem of performing approximate pattern matching on compressed text. The format we choose is the Ziv-Lempel family, speci cally the LZ78 an...
For two strings a, b, the longest common subsequence (LCS) problem consists in comparing a and b by computing the length of their LCS. In a previous paper, we defined a generalisat...
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...
A genetic algorithm for the longest common subsequence problem encodes candidate sequences as binary strings that indicate subsequences of the shortest or first string. Its fitnes...
