We present an on-line linear time and space algorithm to check if an integer array f is the border array of at least one string w built on a bounded or unbounded size alphabet Σ . First of all, we show a bijection between the border array of a string w and the skeleton of the DFA recognizing Σ * w , called a string matching automaton (SMA). Different strings can have the same border array but the originality of the presented method is that the correspondence between a border array and a skeleton...

A new practical linear space algorithm for the longest common subsequence problem

This paper deals with a new practical method for solving the longest common subsequence (LCS) problem. Given two strings of lengths m and n , n ≥ m , on an alphabet of size s , we first present an algorithm which determines the length p of an LCS in O ( n s + min { m p , p ( n - p ) } ) time and O ( n s ) space. This result has been achieved before [ric94,ric95], but our algorithm is significantly faster than previous methods. We also provide a second algorithm which generates an LCS in O ( n s + min { m p , m log m + p ( n - p ) } ) time while preserving the linear space bound,...
