An effective branch-and-bound algorithm to solve the k-Longest Common Subsequence problem
In this paper, we study the Longest Common Subsequence problem of multiple sequences. Because the problem is NP-hard, we devise an effective Branch-and-Bound algorithm to solve the problem. Results of extensive computational experiments show our method to be effective not only on randomly generated benchmark instances(2), but also on real-world protein sequence instances
