چکیده

The longest common subsequence(LCS) problem is one of the classical and wellstudied problems in computer science. The computation of the LCS is a frequent task in DNA sequence analysis, and has applications to genetics and molecular biology. In this paper we define new variants, introducing the notion of gap-constraints in LCS problem and present efficient algorithms to solve them. The new variants are motivated by practical applications in molecular biology.

Algorithms for Computing the Longest Parameterized Common Subsequence

In this paper, we revisit the classic and well-studied longest common subsequence (LCS) problem and study some new variants, first introduced and studied by Rahman and Iliopoulos [Algorithms for Computing Variants of the Longest Common Subsequence Problem, ISAAC 2006]. Here we define a generalization of these variants, the longest parameterized common subsequence (LPCS) problem, and show how to...

Constrained Longest Common Subsequence Computing Algorithms in Practice

The problem of finding a constrained longest common subsequence (CLCS) for the sequences A and B with respect to the sequence P was introduced recently. Its goal is to find a longest subsequence C of A and B such that P is a subsequence of C. There are several algorithms solving the CLCS problem, but there is no real experimental comparison of them. The paper has two aims. Firstly, we propose a...

On the Constrained Longest Common Subsequence Problem

The problem of the longest common subsequence is a classical distance measure for strings. There have been several attempts to accommodate longest common subsequences along with some other distance measures. There are a large number of different variants of the problem. In this paper, we consider the constrained longest common subsequence problem for two strings and arbitrary number of constrai...

Given two sequences A = a 1 a 2 : : :a m and B = b 1 b 2 : : :b n , m n, over some alphabet , a common subsequence C = c 1 c 2 : : :c l of A and B is a sequence that can be obtained from both A and B by deleting zero or more (not necessarily adjacent) symbols. Finding a common subsequence of maximallength is called the Longest CommonSubsequence (LCS) Problem. Two new algorithms based on the wel...
