Longest common subsequences in binary sequences

Year: 2013
Type: preprint
Abstract: Given two {0,1}-sequences X and Y of lengths m and n, respectively, we write L(X,Y) to denote the length of the longest common subsequence (LCS) of X and Y, and write L(m,n) to denote the expected value of L(X,Y) when X and Y are random sequences. We study the value of the function z -> lim L(nz,n)/n (as n -> infinity) and the relation of this function to the outstanding problem of computing the Chvatal-Sankoff constant lim L(n,n)/n.
