A sublinear algorithm for weakly approximating edit distance
We show how to determine whether the edit distance between two given strings is small in sublinear time. Specifically, we present a test which, given two n-character strings A and...

Sublinear-Time Algorithms for Tournament Graphs
We show that a random walk on a tournament on n vertices finds either a sink or a 3-cycle in expected time O √ n · log n · log∗ n , that is, sublinear both in the size of th...

Near-Optimal Sublinear Time Algorithms for Ulam Distance
We give near-tight bounds for estimating the edit distance between two non-repetitive strings (Ulam distance) with constant approximation, in sub-linear time. For two strings of l...
