Longest Common Non Contiguous Subsequence


80#80
 
81#81
The problem of Longest Common Non Contiguous Subsequence can be modeled and solved using the optimal alignment algorithm with the following scoring:

82#82


Or, directly compute V(n, m) with:

83#83


Each character in the sequence S can be align with the same character in the sequence T or with a space in T (in this case no substitution is done). Since the goal is to find maximum length, character matched are valued as '1', while a space match is valued '0'.
