Longest Common Subsequence (Longest Common Subsequence)

Description

The longest common subsequence (LCS) problem is the problem of finding the longest subsequence common to all sequences in a set of sequences (often just two sequences).

Parameters

$n$: length of the longer input string

$m$: length of the shorter input string

$r$: length of the LCS

$s$: size of the alphabet

$p$: the number of dominant matches (AKA number of minimal candidates), i.e. the total number of ordered pairs of positions at which the two sequences match
