## Fast and simple algorithms for computing both LCSk and LCSk+
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/google/fast-simple-lcsk.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/google/fast-simple-lcsk)

This repository contains an implementation of the algorithms for computing LCSk and LCSk+, described in [1].

## Implementation
* [__fast_simple_lcsk/lcsk.h__](https://github.com/google/fast-simple-lcsk/blob/master/fast_simple_lcsk/lcsk.h)
  >> This header contains the core of the library.
* [__experiment__](https://github.com/google/fast-simple-lcsk/blob/master/experiment/)
  >> The code to reconstruct the experiments from the paper.

## Dependencies
For compiling the library, it is necessary to have C++11 compatible compiler.
