From the problem definition in the section2
which asks to
find correspondence
between
and
(assume each
of length of
), a naive algorithm to find a correspondence of
length of
would test each of
correspondences
to see if it can find a rigid transformation
(Rotational),
(Transformational) which can transform one set in the correspondence
to the other set, and to find the correspondence with maximum
we to
try for all the possible
and hence the naive algorithm
needs to generate all
correspondences and
for each of such correspondence check if there is a rigid transformation
and
which can transform one set to the other, note the
comes from ordering of the atoms in each of the residue, as we described in the section3.1 the atoms in each residue
can be ordered in any
order so we need to consider all the
orderings. Now we have
addressed the complexity of the problem and lets see how we can solve
this in the next section.
