Problem Definition

The Problem definition remaines the same. Denote D(S,T) as the best score of aligning S with T. Let 25#25 be our scoring function, i.e., the price of aligning the character x with the character y, for 26#26. We assume that 27#27, 28#28, and that the triangle inequality 29#29 holds.
