Abstract

A new problem in sequence comparison, given a set of strings S1, S2 ... Sc and a target string T Si = BiY Fi is introduced. Y is the subsequence common to all of strings Si. The goal is to compute similarity of all strings Si with T, without computing the part of Y again and again. How to reduce the O(nl) runtime work for the common subsequence Y in each string to O(n), at the cost of only O(n2+nl) work at preprocessing time, where n is target size and l is the size of Y.
