Given a string $T$ of length $n$ over an alphabet $\Sigma\subset \{1,2,\ldots,n^{O(1)}\}$ of size $\sigma$, we are to preprocess $T$ so that given a range $[i,j]$, we can return a representation of a shortest string over $\Sigma$ that is…
We show that the number of distinct squares in a packed string of length $n$ over an alphabet of size $\sigma$ can be computed in $O(n/\log_\sigma n)$ time in the word-RAM model. This paper is the first to introduce a sublinear-time…
In this paper we investigate the problem of building a static data structure that represents a string s using space close to its compressed size, and allows fast access to individual characters of s. This type of structures was investigated…
Sequence representations supporting not only direct access to their symbols, but also rank/select operations, are a fundamental building block in many compressed data structures. Several recent applications need to represent highly…
We consider the problem of representing, in a compressed format, a bit-vector $S$ of $m$ bits with $n$ 1s, supporting the following operations, where $b \in \{0, 1 \}$: $rank_b(S,i)$ returns the number of occurrences of bit $b$ in the…
We propose a new succinct representation of labeled trees which represents a tree T using |T|H_k(T) number of bits (plus some smaller order terms), where |T|H_k(T) denotes the k-th order (tree label) entropy, as defined by Ferragina at al.…
We consider document listing on string collections, that is, finding in which strings a given pattern appears. In particular, we focus on repetitive collections: a collection of size $N$ over alphabet $[1,\sigma]$ is composed of $D$ copies…
This paper gives new results for synchronization strings, a powerful combinatorial object that allows to efficiently deal with insertions and deletions in various communication settings: $\bullet$ We give a deterministic, linear time…
Repetitiveness measures quantify how much repetitive structure a string contains and serve as parameters for compressed representations and indexing data structures. We study the measure $\chi$, defined as the size of the smallest…
Rank and select data structures seek to preprocess a bit vector to quickly answer two kinds of queries: rank(i) gives the number of 1 bits in slots 0 through i, and select(j) gives the first slot s with rank(s) = j. A succinct data…
This paper is concerned with practical implementations of approximate string dictionaries that allow edit errors. In this problem, we have as input a dictionary $D$ of $d$ strings of total length $n$ over an alphabet of size $\sigma$. Given…
Navarro and Sadakane [TALG 2014] gave a dynamic succinct data structure for storing an ordinal tree. The structure supports tree queries in either $O(\log n/\log\log n)$ or $O(\log n)$ time, and insertion or deletion of a single node in…
We deal with the problem of maintaining the suffix tree indexing structure for a fully-online collection of multiple strings, where a new character can be prepended to any string in the collection at any time. The only previously known…
We present an improved wavelet tree construction algorithm and discuss its applications to a number of rank/select problems for integer keys and strings. Given a string of length n over an alphabet of size $\sigma\leq n$, our method builds…
We propose to design data structures called succinct geometric indexes of negligible space (more precisely, o(n) bits) that, by taking advantage of the n points in the data set permuted and stored elsewhere as a sequence, to support…
An order-preserving square in a string is a fragment of the form $uv$ where $u\neq v$ and $u$ is order-isomorphic to $v$. We show that a string $w$ of length $n$ over an alphabet of size $\sigma$ contains $\mathcal{O}(\sigma n)$…
Grammar based compression, where one replaces a long string by a small context-free grammar that generates the string, is a simple and powerful paradigm that captures many popular compression schemes. In this paper, we present a novel…
In the last decades, the necessity to process massive amounts of textual data fueled the development of compressed text indexes: data structures efficiently answering queries on a given text while occupying space proportional to the…
Practical data structures for the edit-sensitive parsing (ESP) are proposed. Given a string S, its ESP tree is equivalent to a context-free grammar G generating just S, which is represented by a DAG. Using the succinct data structures for…
We consider the dynamic range minimum problem on the ultra-wide word RAM model of computation. This model extends the classic $w$-bit word RAM model with special ultrawords of length $w^2$ bits that support standard arithmetic and boolean…
