Popis: We introduce an interacting particle model in a random media and show that this particle process is equivalent to the Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) problem of two binary sequences. We derive a differential equation which links the mean LCS-curve to the average speed of the particles given their density and prove that the average speed of the particles and density converges uniformly on every scale which is somewhat larger than \(\sqrt{n}\) .
