Unbalanced translocations are among the most frequent chromosomal alterations, accounted for 30\% of all losses of heterozygosity, a major genetic event causing inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. Despite of their central role in…
Various grammar compression algorithms have been proposed in the last decade. A grammar compression is a restricted CFG deriving the string deterministically. An efficient grammar compression develops a smaller CFG by finding duplicated…
We consider the approximate pattern matching problem under edit distance. In this problem we are given a pattern $P$ of length $w$ and a text $T$ of length $n$ over some alphabet $\Sigma$, and a positive integer $k$. The goal is to find all…
In the longest common substring problem, we are given two strings of length $n$ and must find a substring of maximal length that occurs in both strings. It is well known that the problem can be solved in linear time, but the solution is not…
The decades-old Pattern Matching with Edits problem, given a length-$n$ string $T$ (the text), a length-$m$ string $P$ (the pattern), and a positive integer $k$ (the threshold), asks to list all fragments of $T$ that are at edit distance at…
The dynamic partial sorting problem asks for an algorithm that maintains lists of numbers under the link, cut and change value operations, and queries the sorted sequence of the $k$ least numbers in one of the lists. We first solve the…
We propose a couple of oracle construction methods for quantum pattern matching. We in turn show that one of the construct can be used with the Grover's search algorithm for exact and partial pattern matching, deterministically. The other…
Countless variants of the Lempel-Ziv compression are widely used in many real-life applications. This paper is concerned with a natural modification of the classical pattern matching problem inspired by the popularity of such compression…
We present space lower bounds for online pattern matching under a number of different distance measures. Given a pattern of length m and a text that arrives one character at a time, the online pattern matching problem is to report the…
In the problem of $\texttt{Generalised Pattern Matching}\ (\texttt{GPM})$ [STOC'94, Muthukrishnan and Palem], we are given a text $T$ of length $n$ over an alphabet $\Sigma_T$, a pattern $P$ of length $m$ over an alphabet $\Sigma_P$, and a…
In this paper, we study the problem of map matching with travel time constraints. Given a sequence of $k$ spatio-temporal measurements and an embedded path graph with travel time costs, the goal is to snap each measurement to a close-by…
The classic exact pattern matching problem, given two strings -- a pattern $P$ of length $m$ and a text $T$ of length $n$ -- asks whether $P$ occurs as a substring of $T$. A property tester for the problem needs to distinguish (with high…
In-place associative integer sorting technique was proposed for integer lists which requires only constant amount of additional memory replacing bucket sort, distribution counting sort and address calculation sort family of algorithms.…
In this paper, we revisit the much studied problem of Pattern Matching with Swaps (Swap Matching problem, for short). We first present a graph-theoretic model, which opens a new and so far unexplored avenue to solve the problem. Then, using…
Given permutations $\sigma \in S_k$ and $\pi \in S_n$ with $k<n$, the \emph{pattern matching} problem is to decide whether $\pi$ matches $\sigma$ as an order-isomorphic subsequence. We give a linear-time algorithm in case both $\pi$ and…
Cartesian tree pattern matching consists of finding all the factors of a text that have the same Cartesian tree than a given pattern. There already exist theoretical and practical solutions for the exact case. In this paper, we propose the…
We propose a quantum algorithm for closest pattern matching which allows us to search for as many distinct patterns as we wish in a given string (database), requiring a query function per symbol of the pattern alphabet. This represents a…
We revisit the $k$-mismatch problem in the streaming model on a pattern of length $m$ and a streaming text of length $n$, both over a size-$\sigma$ alphabet. The current state-of-the-art algorithm for the streaming $k$-mismatch problem, by…
We study the following rearrangement problem: Given $n$ words, rearrange and concatenate them so that the obtained string is lexicographically smallest (or largest, respectively). We show that this problem reduces to sorting the given words…
