Lower bounds for Levenshtein distances #
We show that there is some suffix L' of L such
that the Levenshtein distance from L' to M gives a lower bound
for the Levenshtein distance from L to m :: M.
This allows us to use the intermediate steps of a Levenshtein distance calculation to produce lower bounds on the final result.
