In this paper we consider the weighted 𝑘-Hamming and 𝑘-Edit distances, that are natural generalizations of the classical Hamming and Edit distances. As main results of this paper we prove that for any 𝑘 ≥ 2 the DECIS-𝑘-Hamming problem is P-SPACE-complete and the DECIS-𝑘-Edit problem is NEXPTIMEcomplete. In our formulation, weights are included in the instance description and the cost is not uniform.

Abstract

In this paper we consider the weighted 𝑘-Hamming and 𝑘-Edit distances, that are natural generalizations of the classical Hamming and Edit distances. As main results of this paper we prove that for any 𝑘 ≥ 2 the DECIS-𝑘-Hamming problem is P-SPACE-complete and the DECIS-𝑘-Edit problem is NEXPTIMEcomplete. In our formulation, weights are included in the instance description and the cost is not uniform.
