Abstract
In this paper an approximation algorithm, called Reduce-Expand, for the Shortest Common Supersequence (SCS) problem is presented and its behavior is studied experimentally. While the guaranteed approximation ratio of Reduce-Expand matches that of the best known algorithm, our algorithm clearly outperforms such algorithm with respect to the length of the approximate solution.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
