The variable z is used to hold the length of the longest common substring found so far. The set ret is used to hold the set of strings which are of length z. The set ret can be saved efficiently by just storing the index i, which is the last character of the longest common substring (of size z) instead of S[(i-z+1)..i].
It stores the lengths of the longest common prefixes (LCPs) between all pairs of consecutive suffixes in a sorted suffix array. For example, if A := [ aab , ab , abaab , b , baab ] is a suffix array, the longest common prefix between A [1] = aab and A [2] = ab is a which has length 1, so H [2] = 1 in the LCP array H .
The similarity of two strings and is determined by this formula: twice the number of matching characters divided by the total number of characters of both strings. The matching characters are defined as some longest common substring [3] plus recursively the number of matching characters in the non-matching regions on both sides of the longest common substring: [2] [4]
A longest common subsequence (LCS) is the longest subsequence common to all sequences in a set of sequences (often just two sequences). It differs from the longest common substring : unlike substrings, subsequences are not required to occupy consecutive positions within the original sequences.
Compute a longest common subsequence of these two strings, and let , be the random variable whose value is the length of this subsequence. Then the expected value of λ n , k {\displaystyle \lambda _{n,k}} is (up to lower-order terms) proportional to n , and the k th Chvátal–Sankoff constant γ k {\displaystyle \gamma _{k}} is the constant ...
Finding the longest repeated substring; Finding the longest common substring; Finding the longest palindrome in a string; Suffix trees are often used in bioinformatics applications, searching for patterns in DNA or protein sequences (which can be viewed as long strings of characters). The ability to search efficiently with mismatches might be ...
Suppose for a given alignment of P and T, a substring t of T matches a suffix of P and suppose t is the largest such substring for the given alignment. Then find, if it exists, the right-most copy t ′ of t in P such that t ′ is not a suffix of P and the character to the left of t ′ in P differs from the character to the left of t in P.
One application of the algorithm is finding sequence alignments of DNA or protein sequences. It is also a space-efficient way to calculate the longest common subsequence between two sets of data such as with the common diff tool. The Hirschberg algorithm can be derived from the Needleman–Wunsch algorithm by observing that: [3]
