We prove an optimal (n) lower bound on the randomized communication complexity of the much-studied GAP-HAMMING-DISTANCE problem. As a consequence, we obtain essentially optimal mu...
This paper describes a method for optimizing the cost matrix of any approximate string matching algorithm based on the Levenshtein distance. The method, which uses genetic algorit...
Recently, several authors presented linear recursive algorithms for sorting suffixes of a string. All these algorithms employ a similar three-step approach, based on an initial di...
We introduce a new dimension to the widely studied on-line approximate string matching problem, by introducing an error threshold parameter so that the algorithm is allowed to mis...
Given a permutation , the application of prefix reversal f(i) to reverses the order of the first i elements of . The problem of Sorting By Prefix Reversals (also known as pancake ...
