Longest Common Substring with Approximately k Mismatches

Résumé

In the longest common substring problem we are given two strings of length n and must find a substring of maximal length that occurs in both strings. It is well-known that the problem can be solved in linear time, but the solution is not robust and can vary greatly when the input strings are changed even by one letter. To circumvent this, Leimester and Morgenstern introduced the problem of the longest common substring with k mismatches. Lately, this problem has received a lot of attention in the literature, and several algorithms have been suggested. The running time of these algorithms is n 2−o(1) , and unfortunately, conditional lower bounds have been shown which imply that there is little hope to improve this bound. In this paper we study a different but closely related problem of the longest common substring with approximately k mismatches and use computational geometry techniques to show that it admits a randomised solution with strongly subquadratic running time.
