We study an abstract optimization problem arising from biomolecular sequence analysis. For a sequence A of pairs (a_i,w_i) for i = 1,..,n and w_i>0, a segment A(i,j) is a consecutive subsequence of A starting with index i and ending with…

LZ77-based compression schemes compress the input text by replacing factors in the text with an encoded reference to a previous occurrence formed by the couple (length, offset). For a given factor, the smallest is the offset, the smallest…
We consider a natural generalization of the classical pattern matching problem: given compressed representations of a pattern p[1..M] and a text t[1..N] of sizes m and n, respectively, does p occur in t? We develop an optimal linear time…
In this paper we present algorithms for several string problems in the Congested Clique model. In the Congested Clique model, $n$ nodes (computers) are used to solve some problem. The input to the problem is distributed among the nodes, and…
We consider the $Parameterized$ $Pattern$ $Matching$ problem, where a pattern $P$ matches some location in a text $\mathsf{T}$ iff there is a one-to-one correspondence between the alphabet symbols of the pattern to those of the text. More…

For a fixed regular language $L$, the enumeration of $L$-infixes is the following task: we are given an input word $w = a_1 \cdots a_n$ and we must enumerate the infixes of $w$ that belong to $L$, i.e., the pairs $i \leq j$ such that $a_i…
