We study the following substring suffix selection problem: given a substring of a string T of length n, compute its k-th lexicographically smallest suffix. This a natural generalization of the well-known question of computing the maximal…

In this paper we present a simple linear-time algorithm constructing a context-free grammar of size O(g log(N/g)) for the input string, where N is the size of the input string and g the size of the optimal grammar generating this string.…

We consider the problem of {\em restructuring} compressed texts without explicit decompression. We present algorithms which allow conversions from compressed representations of a string $T$ produced by any grammar-based compression…

We describe a data structure that stores a string $S$ in space similar to that of its Lempel-Ziv encoding and efficiently supports access, rank and select queries. These queries are fundamental for implementing succinct and compressed data…

Efficient construction of the suffix tree given an input text is an active area of research from the time it was first introduced. Both theoretical computer scientists and engineers tackled the problem. In this paper we focus on the fastest…

In solving a linear system with iterative methods, one is usually confronted with the dilemma of having to choose between cheap, inefficient iterates over sparse search directions (e.g., coordinate descent), or expensive iterates in…

Stemming or suffix stripping, an important part of the modern Information Retrieval systems, is to find the root word (stem) out of a given cluster of words. Existing algorithms targeting this problem have been developed in a haphazard…

LZ-End is a variant of the well-known Lempel-Ziv parsing family such that each phrase of the parsing has a previous occurrence, with the additional constraint that the previous occurrence must end at the end of a previous phrase. LZ-End was…

We propose and study a family of universal sequential probability assignments on individual sequences, based on the incremental parsing procedure of the Lempel-Ziv (LZ78) compression algorithm. We show that the normalized log loss under any…

Pattern matching queries on strings can be solved in linear time by Knuth-Morris-Pratt (KMP) algorithm. In 1973, Weiner introduced the suffix tree of a string [FOCS 1973] and showed that the seemingly more difficult problem of computing…

The closest string problem is an NP-hard problem, whose task is to find a string that minimizes maximum Hamming distance to a given set of strings. This can be reduced to an integer program (IP). However, to date, there exists no known…

We present an algorithm that quickly finds falsifying inputs for hybrid systems, i.e., inputs that steer the system towards violation of a given temporal logic requirement. Our method is based on a probabilistically directed search of an…

This paper investigates the size in bits of the LZ77 encoding, which is the most popular and efficient variant of the Lempel-Ziv encodings used in data compression. We prove that, for a wide natural class of variable-length encoders for…

A common complaint about adaptive prefix coding is that it is much slower than static prefix coding. Karpinski and Nekrich recently took an important step towards resolving this: they gave an adaptive Shannon coding algorithm that encodes…

A linear time algorithm to find a set of nearest elements in a mesh.

The process of sorting the suffixes of a text plays a fundamental role in Text Algorithms. They are used for instance in the constructions of the Burrows-Wheeler transform and the suffix array, widely used in several fields of Computer…

The size of the \textit{smallest suffixient set} of positions of a string recently emerged as a new measure of string \textit{repetitiveness} -- a measure reflecting how much of repetitive content the string contains. We study how to…

We study constant-factor approximation algorithms for the Bin Packing Problem with Setups (BPPS). First, we show that adaptations of classical BPP heuristics can have arbitrarily poor worst-case performance on BPPS instances. Then, we…

We study the problem of multiway number partition optimization, which has a myriad of applications in the decision, learning and optimization literature. Even though the original multiway partitioning problem is NP-hard and requires…

A fast algorithm to study one-dimensional self-gravitating systems, and, more generally, systems that are Lagrangian integrable between collisions, is presented. The algorithm is event-driven, and uses a heap-ordered set of predicted future…
