摘要: Given an input sequence of data, a "rigid" pattern is repeating sequence, possibly interspersed with "dont care" characters. In practice, the patterns or motifs interest are ones that also allow variable number gaps (or characters): we call these flexible motifs. The rigid could potentially be exponential in size and case where real numbers, there uncountably infinite (assuming two numbers equal if they within some δ > 0 each other). It has been shown earlier by suitably defining notion maximality redundancy, exists only linear no more than 3n) irredundant polynomial time algorithm to detect Here present uniform framework encompasses both generalizations sets show somewhat surprising result still have bound. However, them higher complexity
