Computing Longest (Common) Lyndon Subsequences

Given a string $T$ with length $n$ whose characters are drawn from an ordered alphabet of size $σ$, its longest Lyndon subsequence is a longest subsequence of $T$ that is a Lyndon word. We propose algorithms for finding such a subsequence in $O(n^3)$ time with $O(n)$ space, or online in $O(n^3 σ)$ space and time. Our first result can be extended to find the longest common Lyndon subsequence of two strings of length $n$ in $O(n^4 σ)$ time using $O(n^3)$ space.
