We consider the expected length of the longest common subsequence between two random words of lengths $n$ and $(1-varepsilon)kn$ over $k$-symbol alphabet. It is well-known that this quantity is asymptotic to $gamma_{k,varepsilon} n$ for some constant $gamma_{k,varepsilon}$. We show that $gamma_{k,varepsilon}$ is of the order $1-cvarepsilon^2$ uniformly in $k$ and $varepsilon$. In addition, for large $k$, we give evidence that $gamma_{k,varepsilon}$ approaches $1-tfrac{1}{4}varepsilon^2$, and prove a matching lower bound.
Let $W^{(n)}$ be the $n$-letter word obtained by repeating a fixed word $W$, and let $R_n$ be a random $n$-letter word over the same alphabet. We show several results about the length of the longest common subsequence (LCS) between $W^{(n)}$ and $R_n
Let $X=(X_i)_{ige 1}$ and $Y=(Y_i)_{ige 1}$ be two sequences of independent and identically distributed (iid) random variables taking their values, uniformly, in a common totally ordered finite alphabet. Let LCI$_n$ be the length of the longest commo
We investigate the behavior of optimal alignment paths for homologous (related) and independent random sequences. An alignment between two finite sequences is optimal if it corresponds to the longest common subsequence (LCS). We prove the existence o
For a partial word $w$ the longest common compatible prefix of two positions $i,j$, denoted $lccp(i,j)$, is the largest $k$ such that $w[i,i+k-1]uparrow w[j,j+k-1]$, where $uparrow$ is the compatibility relation of partial words (it is not an equival
For a set of mulitple sequences, their patterns,Longest Common Subsequences (LCS) and Shortest Common Supersequences (SCS) represent different aspects of these sequences profile, and they can all be used for biological sequence comparisons and analys
