On arch factorization and subword universality for words and compressed words

Formal Languages and Automata Theory 2023-04-25 v1

Abstract

Using arch-jumping functions and properties of the arch factorization of words, we propose a new algorithm for computing the subword circular universality index of words. We also introduce the subword universality signature for words, that leads to simple algorithms for the universality indexes of SLP-compressed words.
