Abstract

For the Bernoulli matching model of the sequence alignment problem we apply the Bethe Ansatz technique via an exact mapping to the five-vertex model on a square lattice. Considering the terracelike representation of the sequence alignment problem, we reproduce by the Bethe Ansatz the results for the averaged length of the longest common subsequence in the Bernoulli approximation. In addition, we compute the average number of nucleation centers of the terraces.
