Efficient algorithms for the block edit problems
2010
Information and Computation
In this paper, we focus on the edit distance between two given strings where block-edit operations are allowed and better fitting to the human natural edit behaviors. Previous results showed that this problem is NP-hard when block moves are allowed. Various approximations to this problem have been proposed in recent years. However, this problem can be solved by the polynomial-time optimization algorithms if some reasonable restrictions are applied. The restricted variations which we consider
