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,...

Hit and run as a unifying device

Hans C. Andersen, Persi Diaconis (2007)

Journal de la société française de statistique

Similarity:

We present a generalization of hit and run algorithms for Markov chain Monte Carlo problems that is ‘equivalent’ to data augmentation and auxiliary variables. These algorithms contain the Gibbs sampler and Swendsen-Wang block spin dynamics as special cases. The unification allows theorems, examples, and heuristics developed in one domain to illuminate parallel domains.
