An indexed sequence of strings is a data structure for storing a string sequence that supports random access, searching, range counting and analytics operations, both for exact matches and prefix search. String sequences lie at the core of…
Under the word RAM model, we design three data structures that can be constructed in $O(n\sqrt{\lg n})$ time over $n$ points in an $n \times n$ grid. The first data structure is an $O(n\lg^{\epsilon} n)$-word structure supporting orthogonal…
In this paper, we provide algorithms to rank, unrank, and randomly generate certain degree-restricted classes of Cayley trees. Specifically, we consider classes of trees that have a given degree sequence or a given multiset of degrees. If…
Suppose that we are given a string $s$ of length $n$ over an alphabet $\{0,1,\ldots,n^{O(1)}\}$ and $\delta$ is the string complexity of $s$, a known compression measure. We describe an index on $s$ with $O(\delta\log\frac{n}{\delta})$…
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 show that the number of distinct squares in a packed string of length $n$ over an alphabet of size $\sigma$ can be computed in $O(n/\log_\sigma n)$ time in the word-RAM model. This paper is the first to introduce a sublinear-time…
We consider the classical problem of sorting an input array containing $n$ elements, where each element is described with a $k$-bit comparison-key and a $w$-bit payload. A long-standing open problem is whether there exist $(k + w) \cdot o(n…
We present an algorithm which computes the Lempel-Ziv factorization of a word $W$ of length $n$ on an alphabet $\Sigma$ of size $\sigma$ online in the following sense: it reads $W$ starting from the left, and, after reading each $r =…
This paper considers the \textit{minimum spanning tree (MST)} problem in the Congested Clique model and presents an algorithm that runs in $O(\log \log \log n)$ rounds, with high probability. Prior to this, the fastest MST algorithm in this…
A trie $\mathcal{T}$ is a rooted tree such that each edge is labeled by a single character from the alphabet, and the labels of out-going edges from the same node are mutually distinct. Given a trie $\mathcal{T}$ with $n$ edges, we show how…
We present parallel algorithms for wavelet tree construction with polylogarithmic depth, improving upon the linear depth of the recent parallel algorithms by Fuentes-Sepulveda et al. We experimentally show on a 40-core machine with two-way…
Based on the Breslauer-Italiano online suffix tree construction algorithm (2013) with double logarithmic worst-case guarantees on the update time per letter, we develop near-real-time algorithms for several classical problems on strings,…
Depth first search (DFS) tree is one of the most well-known data structures for designing efficient graph algorithms. Given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, the textbook algorithm takes $O(n+m)$ time to…
In this paper we propose a graph-based data clustering algorithm which is based on exact clustering of a minimum spanning tree in terms of a minimum isoperimetry criteria. We show that our basic clustering algorithm runs in $O(n \log n)$…
We give an algorithm that takes as input an $n$-vertex graph $G$ and an integer $k$, runs in time $2^{O(k^2)} n^{O(1)}$, and outputs a tree decomposition of $G$ of width at most $k$, if such a decomposition exists. This resolves the…
In this paper we describe compressed indexes that support pattern matching queries for strings with wildcards. For a constant size alphabet our data structure uses $O(n\log^{\varepsilon}n)$ bits for any $\varepsilon>0$ and reports all…
Navarro and Sadakane [TALG 2014] gave a dynamic succinct data structure for storing an ordinal tree. The structure supports tree queries in either $O(\log n/\log\log n)$ or $O(\log n)$ time, and insertion or deletion of a single node in…
The Block Tree is a recently proposed data structure that reaches compression close to Lempel-Ziv while supporting efficient direct access to text substrings. In this paper we show how a self-index can be built on top of a Block Tree so…
Sorting is a foundational problem in computer science that is typically employed on sequences or total orders. More recently, a more general form of sorting on partially ordered sets (or posets), where some pairs of elements are…
In this paper, we first consider the subpath convex hull query problem: Given a simple path $\pi$ of $n$ vertices, preprocess it so that the convex hull of any query subpath of $\pi$ can be quickly obtained. Previously, Guibas, Hershberger,…
