https://doi.org/10.7494/csci.2002.4.1.3601Abstract
The Hirschberg algorithm was devised to solve the longest common subsequence problem. The paper discusses the way o f adopting the algorithm to solve the string matching problem in linear space to determine edit distancefor two strings and their alignment.
