چکیده
The shortest common superstring (SCS) problem, known to be NP-Complete, seeks the shortest string that contains all strings from a given set. In this paper we compare four approaches for finding solutions to the SCS problem: a standard genetic algorithm, a novel cooperative-coevolutionary algorithm, a benchmark greedy algorithm, and a parallel coevolutionary-greedy approach. We show the coevolutionary approach produces the best results, and discuss directions for future research.

An Experimental Comparison of Approximation Algorithms for the Shortest Common Superstring Problem
The paper deals with an experimental comparison of a 4-approximation algorithm with a 3-approximation algorithm for the Shortest Common Superstring (SCS) problem. It has two main objectives, one is to show that even though the quotient between the two approximations is 4/3, in the worst case, the average results quotient is approximately 1, independently of the instances size. The second object...
متن کاملA tissue P system and a DNA microfluidic device for solving the shortest common superstring problem
This paper describes a tissue P system for solving the Shortest Common Superstring Problem in linear time. This tissue P system is well suited for parallel and distributed implementation using a microfluidic device working with DNA strands. The tP system is not based on the usual brute force generate/test technique applied in DNA computing, but builds the space solution gradually. The possible ...
متن کاملThe Shortest Common Superstring Problem
We consider the problem of the shortest common superstring. We describe an approach to solve the problem. This approach is based on an explicit reduction from the problem to the satisfiability problem.
متن کاملOn Reoptimization of the Shortest Common Superstring Problem
In general, a reoptimization gives us a possibility to obtain a solution for a larger instance from a solution for a smaller instance. In this paper, we consider a possibility of usage of a reoptimization to solve the shortest common superstring problem.
متن کاملApproximating the Shortest Superstring Problem Using de Bruijn Graphs
The best known approximation ratio for the shortest superstring problem is 2 11 23 (Mucha, 2012). In this note, we improve this bound for the case when the length of all input strings is equal to r, for r ≤ 7. For example, for strings of length 3 we get a 1 1 3 -approximation. An advantage of the algorithm is that it is extremely simple both to implement and to analyze. Another advantage is tha...
