Abstract

The string matching with mismatches problem is that of finding the

number of mismatches between a pattern P of length m and every length m
substring of the text T. Currently, the fastest algorithms for this
problem are the following. The Galil-Giancarlo algorithm finds all
locations where the pattern has at most k errors (where k is part of the
input) in time O(nk). The Abrahamson algorithm finds the number of
mismatches at every location in time O(nv m log m). We present an
algorithm that is faster than both. Our algorithm finds all locations
where the pattern has at most k errors in time O(nvk log k). We also
show an algorithm that solves the above problem in time O((n + (nk3)/m)
log k(.
