Abstract

In this paper, we present linear-time algorithms for the construction two novel types of finite automata and show how they can be used to efficiently solve the Longest Common Subsequence (LCS), Shortest Common Supersequence (SCS) and Constrained Longest Common Subsequence (CLCS) problems for degenerate strings.
