We derive a simple efficient algorithm for Abelian periods knowing all Abelian squares in a string. An efficient algorithm for the latter problem was given by Cummings and Smyth in 1997. By the way we show an alternative algorithm for…
Constantinescu and Ilie (Bulletin EATCS 89, 167--170, 2006) introduced the notion of an \emph{Abelian period} of a word. A word of length $n$ over an alphabet of size $\sigma$ can have $\Theta(n^{2})$ distinct Abelian periods. The…
Constantinescu and Ilie (Bulletin of the EATCS 89, 167-170, 2006) introduced the idea of an Abelian period with head and tail of a finite word. An Abelian period is called full if both the head and the tail are empty. We present a simple…
Two strings x and y are said to be Abelian equivalent if x is a permutation of y, or vice versa. If a string z satisfies z = xy with x and y being Abelian equivalent, then z is said to be an Abelian square. If a string w can be factorized…
Abelian string matching problems are becoming an object of considerable interest in last years. Very recently, Alatabbi et al. \cite{AILR2015} presented the first solution for the longest common Abelian factor problem for a pair of strings,…
In this paper we consider the problem of computing the longest common abelian factor (LCAF) between two given strings. We present a simple $O(\sigma~ n^2)$ time algorithm, where $n$ is the length of the strings and $\sigma$ is the alphabet…
The abelian pattern matching problem consists in finding all substrings of a text which are permutations of a given pattern. This problem finds application in many areas and can be solved in linear time by a naive sliding window approach.…
We study the abelian period sets of Sturmian words, which are codings of irrational rotations on a one-dimensional torus. The main result states that the minimum abelian period of a factor of a Sturmian word of angle $\alpha$ with continued…
We prove 3SUM-hardness (no strongly subquadratic-time algorithm, assuming the 3SUM conjecture) of several problems related to finding Abelian square and additive square factors in a string. In particular, we conclude conditional optimality…
Given a word $w$ and a Parikh vector $\mathcal{P}$, an abelian run of period $\mathcal{P}$ in $w$ is a maximal occurrence of a substring of $w$ having abelian period $\mathcal{P}$. We give an algorithm that finds all the abelian runs of…
Given a word $w$ and a Parikh vector $\mathcal{P}$, an abelian run of period $\mathcal{P}$ in $w$ is a maximal occurrence of a substring of $w$ having abelian period $\mathcal{P}$. Our main result is an online algorithm that, given a word…
In this paper, we study the relation between periodicity of two-dimensional words and their abelian pattern complexity. A pattern $\cal{P}$ in $\mathbb{Z}^n$ is the set of all translations of some finite subset $F$ of $\mathbb{Z}^n$. An…
We say that an infinite word w is weak abelian periodic if it can be factorized into finite words with the same frequencies of letters. In the paper we study properties of weak abelian periodicity, its relations with balance and frequency.…
Regularities in strings are often related to periods and covers, which have extensively been studied, and algorithms for their efficient computation have broad application. In this paper we concentrate on computing cyclic regularities of…
Two finite words $u$ and $v$ are called abelian equivalent if each letter occurs equally many times in both $u$ and $v$. The abelian closure $\mathcal{A}(\mathbf{x})$ of an infinite word $\mathbf{x}$ is the set of infinite words…
We give an effective procedure to explicitly find the decomposition of a polarized abelian variety into its simple factors if a period matrix is known. Since finding this datum is not easy, we also provide two methods to compute the period…
We say that two finite words $u$ and $v$ are abelian equivalent if and only if they have the same number of occurrences of each letter, or equivalently if they define the same Parikh vector. In this paper we investigate various abelian…
Return words constitute a powerful tool for studying symbolic dynamical systems. They may be regarded as a discrete analogue of the first return map in dynamical systems. In this paper we investigate two abelian variants of the notion of…
In this paper, we analyze the periodic factors of Sturmian words for the findings to lead to a linear-time algorithm for the computation of runs in this class of words which, to our best knowledge, is an open problem in literature.
An abelian square is the concatenation of two words that are anagrams of one another. A word of length $n$ can contain at most $\Theta(n^2)$ distinct factors, and there exist words of length $n$ containing $\Theta(n^2)$ distinct…
