Abstract

For an integer k≥ 3, a k-rollercoaster is a numeric string such that any maximal strictly non-increasing or non-decreasing substring has length at least k. We consider the problem of computing the longest common k-rollercoaster between two integer strings S and T, i.e., the longest k-rollercoaster that is a subsequence common to both S and T. We give two algorithms that solve this problem; The first runs in O(nmk) time and space, where n, m are respectively the lengths of S and T. The second runs in O(rklog 3mlog log m) time and O(rk) space, where r= O(mn) is the number of pairs (i, j) of matching points such that S[ i] = T[ j], assuming that m≤ n and that S, T only consist of characters which occur in both strings. The second algorithm is faster than the first one when r is sub-linear in nm/log3mloglogm.
