最长公共子串：递归解决方案？

Question

公共子串算法：

LCS(x,y) = 1+ LCS(x[0...xi-1],y[0...yj-1] if x[xi]==y[yj]
           else 0

现在动态规划解决方案很好理解。但是我无法找出递归解决方案。如果有多个子串，则上述算法似乎失败了。

例如：

x = "LABFQDB" and y = "LABDB"

应用上述算法

1+ (x=  "LABFQD" and y = "LABD")
1+ (x=  "LABFQ" and y = "LAB")
return 0 since 'Q'!='B'

返回的值将是 2，而我应该是 3？

有人可以指定递归解决方案吗？

Answer 1

尽量避免任何混淆，您要问的是longest common substring，不是longest common subsequence，它们非常相似但有差异。

The recursive method for finding longest common substring is:
Given A and B as two strings, let m as the last index for A, n as the last index for B.

    if A[m] == B[n] increase the result by 1.
    if A[m] != B[n] :
      compare with A[m -1] and B[n] or
      compare with A[m] and B[n -1] 
    with result reset to 0.

以下是没有应用记忆的代码，以便更好地说明算法。

Answer 2

long max_sub(int i, int j)
{

    if(i<0 or j<0)
        return 0;

    if(s[i]==p[j])
    {
        if(dp[i][j]==-1)
          dp[i][j]=1+max_sub(i-1,j-1);
    }
    else
    {
        dp[i][j] = 0;
    }
    if(i-1>=0 and dp[i-1][j]==-1)
        max_sub(i-1, j);
    if(j-1>=0 and dp[i][j-1]==-1)
        max_sub(i, j-1);
    return dp[i][j];
}

您的代码的问题似乎是您没有尝试所有 n^2 种可能性。
