Abstract

We study the λ-seed problem of a string in this paper. Given a string x of length n and an integer λ, the λ-seed problem is to find all the sets of λ substrings of x that cover a superstring of x, assuming that each element of the set is of equal length. We present an efficient algorithm that can compute all the λ-seeds of x in O(n2) time.
