Hirschberg–Sinclair algorithm

ID: hirschberg-sinclair-algorithm

The Hirschberg–Sinclair algorithm is a method used in the field of computer science, particularly in the area of combinatorial optimization and graph theory. It is primarily known for solving the problem of finding the longest common subsequence (LCS) between two sequences. This problem has applications in various fields such as bioinformatics, text comparison, and data deduplication. The algorithm is a space-efficient version of the dynamic programming approach to solving the LCS problem.
