Given a set of strings S of equal lengths over an alphabet Σ, the closest string problem seeks a string over Σ whose maximum Hamming distance to any of the given strings is as s...
Let A and B be strings with lengths m and n, respectively, over a finite integer alphabet. Two classic string mathing problems are computing the edit distance between A and B, and...
In the last decade there has been an ongoing interest in string comparison problems; to a large extend the interest was stimulated by genome rearrangement problems in computationa...
In this paper we address the problem of defining a measure of diversity for a population of individuals whose genome can be subjected to major reorganizations during the evolution...
