Reversal Distance for Strings with Duplicates: Linear Time Approximation using Hitting Set
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...

Why Large Closest String Instances Are Easy to Solve in Practice
We initiate the study of the smoothed complexity of the Closest String problem by proposing a semi-random model of Hamming distance. We restrict interest to the optimization versio...

Complexity of Approximating Closest Substring Problems
The closest substring problem, where a short string is sought that minimizes the number of mismatches between it and each of a given set of strings, is a minimization problem with ...

Combinatorial Problems on Strings with Applications to Protein Folding
We consider the problem of protein folding in the HP model on the 3D square lattice. This problem is combinatorially equivalent to folding a string of 0’s and 1’s so that the s...

An Algorithmic Framework for Motif Discovery Problems in Weighted Sequences
A weighted sequence is a string in which a set of characters may appear at each position with respective probabilities of occurrence. A common task is to locate a given motif in a ...
