The picture shows two strings where the problem has multiple solutions. Although the substring occurrences always overlap, it is impossible to obtain a longer common substring by "uniting" them. The strings "ABABC", "BABCA" and "ABCBA" have only one longest common substring, viz. "ABC" of length 3.
find(string,substring) returns integer Description Returns the position of the start of the first occurrence of substring in string. If the substring is not found most of these routines return an invalid index value – -1 where indexes are 0-based, 0 where they are 1-based – or some value to be interpreted as Boolean FALSE.

After computing E(i, j) for all i and j, we can easily find a solution to the original problem: it is the substring for which E(m, j) is minimal (m being the length of the pattern P.) Computing E ( m , j ) is very similar to computing the edit distance between two strings.
For example, a digital door lock with a 4-digit code (each digit having 10 possibilities, from 0 to 9) would have B (10, 4) solutions, with length 10 000. Therefore, only at most 10 000 + 3 = 10 003 (as the solutions are cyclic) presses are needed to open the lock, whereas trying all codes separately would require 4 × 10 000 = 40 000 presses.
Anselm Blumer with a drawing of generalized CDAWG for strings ababc and abcab. The concept of suffix automaton was introduced in 1983 [1] by a group of scientists from University of Denver and University of Colorado Boulder consisting of Anselm Blumer, Janet Blumer, Andrzej Ehrenfeucht, David Haussler and Ross McConnell, although similar concepts had earlier been studied alongside suffix trees ...
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 ...
Naively computing the hash value for the substring s[i+1..i+m] requires O(m) time because each character is examined. Since the hash computation is done on each loop, the algorithm with a naive hash computation requires O(mn) time, the same complexity as a straightforward string matching algorithm. For speed, the hash must be computed in ...
LCS in particular has overlapping subproblems: the solutions to high-level subproblems often reuse solutions to lower level subproblems. Problems with these two properties are amenable to dynamic programming approaches, in which subproblem solutions are memoized , that is, the solutions of subproblems are saved for reuse.
