Greedy Algorithms for the Shortest Common Superstring Problem


Abstract

This paper is based on a article by A. Frieze and W.Szpankowski. It presents some greedy algorithms that solve Shortest Common Superstring Problem and their analysis in probabylistic framework. Also graph algorithms for equivalent problems are presented.
