Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: An algorithm is described for computing the edit distance between two strings of length n and m, n ⪖ m, which requires O(n · max(1, mlog n) steps whenever the costs of edit operations are integral multiples of a single positive real number and the alphabet for the strings is finite.
