The longest alternating subsequence problem has also been studied in the setting of online algorithms, in which the elements of are presented in an online fashion, and a decision maker needs to decide whether to include or exclude each element at the time it is first presented, without any knowledge of the elements that will be presented in the future, and without the possibility of recalling ...

In computer science, the Hunt–Szymanski algorithm, [1] [2] also known as Hunt–McIlroy algorithm, is a solution to the longest common subsequence problem.It was one of the first non-heuristic algorithms used in diff which compares a pair of files each represented as a sequence of lines.
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.
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].
In combinatorics, a Davenport–Schinzel sequence is a sequence of symbols in which the number of times any two symbols may appear in alternation is limited. The maximum possible length of a Davenport–Schinzel sequence is bounded by the number of its distinct symbols multiplied by a small but nonconstant factor that depends on the number of alternations that are allowed.
In some cases, the alphabet used is simply that of the character encoding—resulting in, for example, a size of 256 in the case of (unsigned) ASCII. [14]: 732 The null links within the children of a node emphasize the following characteristics: [14]: 734 [5]: 336
In computer science, the longest repeated substring problem is the problem of finding the longest substring of a string that occurs at least twice. This problem can be solved in linear time and space Θ ( n ) {\displaystyle \Theta (n)} by building a suffix tree for the string (with a special end-of-string symbol like '$' appended), and finding ...
