Deterministic Longest Common Subsequence Approximation in Near-Linear Time

Published 30 Jul 2025 in cs.DS | (2507.22486v1)

Abstract: We provide a deterministic algorithm that outputs an $O(n{3/4} \log n)$-approximation for the Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) of two input sequences of length $n$ in near-linear time. This is the first deterministic approximation algorithm for LCS that achieves a sub-linear approximation ratio in near-linear time.
