Pairwise ordered tree alignment are combinatorial objects that appear in RNA secondary structure comparison. However, the usual representation of tree alignments as supertrees is ambiguous, i.e. two distinct supertrees may induce identical…
We consider a sliding window $W$ over a stream of characters from some alphabet of constant size. The user wants to perform deterministic substring matching on the current sliding window content and obtain positions of the matches. We…
Recently Kubica et al. (Inf. Process. Let., 2013) and Kim et al. (submitted to Theor. Comp. Sci.) introduced order-preserving pattern matching. In this problem we are looking for consecutive substrings of the text that have the same "shape"…
Sparse suffix sorting is the problem of sorting $b=o(n)$ suffixes of a string of length $n$. Efficient sparse suffix sorting algorithms have existed for more than a decade. Despite the multitude of works and their justified claims for…
The suffix tree is a very important data structure in string processing, but it suffers from a huge space consumption. In large-scale applications, compressed suffix trees (CSTs) are therefore used instead. A CST consists of three…
Suffix trees are a fundamental data structure in stringology, but their space usage, though linear, is an important problem for its applications. We design and implement a new compressed suffix tree targeted to highly repetitive texts, such…
Data augmentation is widely used for training a neural network given little labeled data. A common practice of augmentation training is applying a composition of multiple transformations sequentially to the data. Existing augmentation…
The suffix trees are fundamental data structures for various kinds of string processing. The suffix tree of a string $T$ of length $n$ has $O(n)$ nodes and edges, and the string label of each edge is encoded by a pair of positions in $T$.…
Document listing on string collections is the task of finding all documents where a pattern appears. It is regarded as the most fundamental document retrieval problem, and is useful in various applications. Many of the fastest-growing…
We show how to build several data structures of central importance to string processing, taking as input the Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT) and using small extra working space. Let $n$ be the text length and $\sigma$ be the alphabet size.…
We propose a new linear-size data structure which provides a fast access to all palindromic substrings of a string or a set of strings. This structure inherits some ideas from the construction of both the suffix trie and suffix tree. Using…
The weighted ancestor problem is a well-known generalization of the predecessor problem to trees. It is known to require $\Omega(\log\log n)$ time for queries provided $O(n\mathop{\mathrm{polylog}} n)$ space is available and weights are…
The suffix array, perhaps the most important data structure in modern string processing, is often augmented with the longest common prefix (LCP) array which stores the lengths of the LCPs for lexicographically adjacent suffixes of a string.…
It has been shown in the indexing literature that there is an essential difference between prefix/range searches on the one hand, and predecessor/rank searches on the other hand, in that the former provably allows faster query resolution.…
The Suffix Array is a classic text index enabling on-line pattern matching queries via simple binary search. The main drawback of the Suffix Array is that it takes linear space in the text's length, even if the text itself is extremely…
The suffix tree is arguably the most fundamental data structure on strings: introduced by Weiner (SWAT 1973) and McCreight (JACM 1976), it allows solving a myriad of computational problems on strings in linear time. Motivated by its large…
In the past thirty years, numerous algorithms for building the suffix array of a string have been proposed. In 2021, the notion of suffix array was extended from strings to DFAs, and it was shown that the resulting data structure can be…
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 revisit the classic border tree data structure [Gu, Farach, Beigel, SODA 1994] that answers the following prefix-suffix queries on a string $T$ of length $n$ over an integer alphabet $\Sigma=[0,\sigma)$: for any $i,j \in [0,n)$ return…
In a \emph{weighted sequence}, for every position of the sequence and every letter of the alphabet a probability of occurrence of this letter at this position is specified. Weighted sequences are commonly used to represent imprecise or…
