Abstract: Superstrings have many applications in data compression and genetics. However the decision version of the shortest superstring problem is NP-complete. In this paper we examine the complexity of approximating shortest superstrings. There are two basic measures of the approximations: the approximation ratio and the compression ratio. The well known and practical approximation algorithm is the sequential algorithm Greedy . It approximates the shortest superstring with the compression ratio of 1 2 ... (Update)
