In sequence analysis, we may have a long sequence s and only a substring t (or a few substrings) of s contains the consecutive repeats. The problem here is to find out the substring t and give an optimal pseudo-periodic partition. We call this problem the local pseudo-periodic problem. In this paper, we define the maximization version of the pseudo-periodic partition and develop an algorithm that solves the local pseudo-periodic problem in O(n2) time, where n is the length of the input sequence s.
