We study the problem of computing a longest increasing subsequence in a sequence $S$ of $n$ distinct elements in the presence of persistent comparison errors. In this model, every comparison between two elements can return the wrong result…

In this paper, we propose a data structure, a quadruple neighbor list (QN-list, for short), to support real time queries of all longest increasing subsequence (LIS) and LIS with constraints over sequential data streams. The QN-List built by…

Computation on compressed strings is one of the key approaches to processing massive data sets. We consider local subsequence recognition problems on strings compressed by straight-line programs (SLP), which is closely related to…

Finding the length of the longest increasing subsequence (LIS) is a classic algorithmic problem. Let $n$ denote the size of the array. Simple $O(n\log n)$ algorithms are known for this problem. We develop a polylogarithmic time randomized…

Let $w$ be a string of length $n$. The problem of counting factors crossing a position - Problem 64 from the textbook ``125 Problems in Text Algorithms'' [Crochemore, Leqroc, and Rytter, 2021], asks to count the number $\mathcal{C}(w,k)$…

We revisit the complexity of approximate pattern matching in an elastic-degenerate string. Such a string is a sequence of $n$ finite sets of strings of total length $N$, and compactly describes a collection of strings obtained by first…

In many applications, it is necessary to determine the string similarity. Edit distance[WF74] approach is a classic method to determine Field Similarity. A well known dynamic programming algorithm [GUS97] is used to calculate edit distance…

Let us consider the Multiple String Matching Problem. In this problem, we consider a long string, denoted by $t$, of length $n$. This string is referred to as a text. We also consider a sequence of $m$ strings, denoted by $S$, which we…

Given two equally long, uniformly random binary strings, the expected length of their longest common subsequence (LCS) is asymptotically proportional to the strings' length. Finding the proportionality coefficient $\gamma$, i.e. the limit…

Simon's congruence $\sim_k$ is defined as follows: two words are $\sim_k$-equivalent if they have the same set of subsequences of length at most $k$. We propose an algorithm which computes, given two words $s$ and $t$, the largest $k$ for…

The similarity between a pair of time series, i.e., sequences of indexed values in time order, is often estimated by the dynamic time warping (DTW) distance, instead of any in the well-studied family of measures including the longest common…

We revisit the problem of finding shortest unique substring (SUS) proposed recently by [6]. We propose an optimal $O(n)$ time and space algorithm that can find an SUS for every location of a string of size $n$. Our algorithm significantly…

In this paper, we describe a new type of match between a pattern and a text that aren't necessarily maximal in the query, but still contain useful matching information: locally maximal exact matches (LEMs). There are usually a large amount…

A classic data structure problem is to preprocess a string T of length $n$ so that, given a query $q$, we can quickly find all substrings of T with Hamming distance at most $k$ from the query string. Variants of this problem have seen…

In this work, we present a plethora of results for the range longest increasing subsequence problem (Range-LIS) and its variants. The input to RLIS is a sequence $S$ of $n$ real numbers and a collection $Q$ of $m$ query ranges, and for each…

Permutation patterns and pattern avoidance have been intensively studied in combinatorics and computer science, going back at least to the seminal work of Knuth on stack-sorting (1968). Perhaps the most natural algorithmic question in this…

We introduce the Longest Common Circular Factor (LCCF) problem in which, given strings $S$ and $T$ of length $n$, we are to compute the longest factor of $S$ whose cyclic shift occurs as a factor of $T$. It is a new similarity measure, an…

The Longest Common Increasing Subsequence (LCIS) is a variant of the classical Longest Common Subsequence (LCS), in which we additionally require the common subsequence to be strictly increasing. While the well-known "Four Russians"…

The $k$-mappability problem has two integers parameters $m$ and $k$. For every subword of size $m$ in a text $S$, we wish to report the number of indices in $S$ in which the word occurs with at most $k$ mismatches. The problem was lately…

In this work, we obtain the following new results. 1. Given a sequence $D=((h_1,s_1), (h_2,s_2) ..., (h_n,s_n))$ of number pairs, where $s_i>0$ for all $i$, and a number $L_h$, we propose an O(n)-time algorithm for finding an index interval…
