Abstract

The Longest Common Substring problem is to compute the longest substring which occurs in at least d ≥ 2 of m strings of total length n. In this paper we ask the question whether this problem allows a deterministic time-space trade-off using O(n1+ε) time and O(n1-ε) space for 0 ≤ ε ≤ 1. We give a positive answer in the case of two strings (d = m = 2) and 0 <ε ≤ 1/3. In the general case where 2 ≤ d ≤ m, we show that the problem can be solved in O(n1-ε) space and O(n1+ε log2n (d log2n + d2)) time for any 0 ≤ ε <1/3.
