Abstract

The longest common subsequence(LCS) problem is one of the classical and well-studied problems in computer science. The computation of the LCS is a frequent task in DNA sequence analysis, and has applications to genetics and molecular biology. In this paper we define new variants, introducing the notion of gap-constraints in LCS problem and present efficient algorithms to solve them.
