摘要
We investigate the order of the r-th, 1 <= r < infinity, central moment of the length of the longest common subsequences of two independent random words of size n whose letters are identically distributed and independently drawn from a finite alphabet. When all but one of the letters are drawn with small probabilities, which depend on the size of the alphabet, a lower bound is shown to be of order n(r/2). This result complements a generic upper bound also of order n(r/2).
