A survey of longest common subsequence algorithms Abstract: The aim of this paper is to give a comprehensive comparison of well-known longest common subsequence algorithms for two input strings and study their behaviour in various application environments.

The performance of the methods depends heavily on the properties of the problem instance as well as the supporting data structures used in the implementation. Let m and n denote the leng Let m and n denote the lengths of the strings A and B, respectively, and w denote the computer word size. Then we discuss the relative performance of the bit-parallel algorithms and compare our variant against one of the best conventional LLCS algorithms.

Algorithms for the constrained longest common subsequence problems by Abdullah N. Arslan - J. Sci , Given strings S1,S2, and P, the constrained longest common subsequence problem for S1 and S2 with respect to P is to find a longest common subsequence lcs of S1 and S2 such that P is a subsequence of this lcs. We present an algorithm which improves the time complexity of the problem from t We present an algorithm which improves the time complexity of the problem from the previously known O rn 2 m 2 to O rnm where r,n, and m are the lengths of P,S1, and S2, respectively.

As a generalization of this, we extend the definition of the problem so that the lcs sought contains a subsequence whose edit distance from P is less than a given parameter d. For the latter problem, we propose an algorithm whose time complexity is O drnm. Iliopoulos, M. Sohel Rahman - In Broersma et al. In this paper, we first present a The problem of finding the longest common subsequence LCS of two given strings A1 and A2 is a well-studied problem.

The fas In this paper we consider two general variants of the C-LCS problem. First we show that in case of two input strings and an arbitrary number of constraint strings, it is NP-hard to approximate the C-LCS problem. We also discussed one example problem in Set 3. LCS Problem Statement: Given two sequences, find the length of longest subsequence present in both of them.

A subsequence is a sequence that appears in the same relative order, but not necessarily contiguous. In order to find out the complexity of brute force approach, we need to first know the number of possible different subsequences of a string with length n, i.

Recall from theory of permutation and combination that number of combinations with 1 element are n C 1. Number of combinations with 2 elements are n C 2 and so forth and so on. So a string of length n has 2 n -1 different possible subsequences since we do not consider the subsequence with length 0. Note that it takes O n time to check if a subsequence is common to both the strings. This time complexity can be improved using dynamic programming. It is a classic computer science problem, the basis of diff a file comparison program that outputs the differences between two files , and has applications in bioinformatics.

The naive solution for this problem is to generate all subsequences of both given sequences and find the longest matching subsequence.
