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
