Physicists may have uncovered a surprising new clue that string theory—the idea that the universe is built from unimaginably tiny vibrating strings—could be more than just a mathematical fantasy.

Abstract: The edit distance is a fundamental measure of sequence similarity, defined as the minimum number of character insertions, deletions, and substitutions needed to transform one string into the ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present the first dynamic algorithms for Dyck edit distance and tree edit distance that achieve subpolynomial update times. Dyck edit distance measures how far a ...
