摘要:
We consider a sequence matching problem involving the optimal alignment score for contiguous sequences, rewarding matches by one unit and penalizing for deletions and mismatches by parameters delta and mu, respectively. Let M-n be the optimal score over all possible choices of two contiguous regions. Arratia and Waterman conjectured that, when the score constant a(mu, delta) < 0, P(M-n/log n -> 2b) = 1 for some constant b. Here we prove the conjecture affirmatively.
