We investigate the shortest common superstring problem (SCSSP). As SCSSP is APX-complete it cannot be approximated within an arbitrarily small performance ratio. One heuristic tha...
Abstract. The edit distance between strings A and B is defined as the minimum number of edit operations needed in converting A into B or vice versa. Typically the allowed edit oper...
Recently, several authors presented linear recursive algorithms for sorting suffixes of a string. All these algorithms employ a similar three-step approach, based on an initial di...
Recently, there has been a surge of interest in gapped q-gram filters for approximate string matching. Important design parameters for filters are for example the value of q, the f...
