We introduce a new string matching problem called order-preserving matching on numeric strings where a pattern matches a text if the text contains a substring whose relative orders coincide with those of the pattern. Order-preserving…

For a text given in advance, the substring minimal suffix queries ask to determine the lexicographically minimal non-empty suffix of a substring specified by the location of its occurrence in the text. We develop a data structure answering…

State of the art approaches for (embedding based) unsupervised semantic search exploits either compositional similarity (of a query and a passage) or pair-wise word (or term) similarity (from the query and the passage). By design, word…

String matching is the problem of finding all the occurrences of a pattern in a text. It has been intensively studied and the Boyer-Moore string matching algorithm is probably one of the most famous solution to this problem. This algorithm…

Reasoning is a fundamentally algorithmic task. Yet current work on LLM-based reasoning relies on free-form generation whose theoretical guarantees (soundness, completeness, complexity, optimality) remain poorly understood. We argue that we…

The set of finite words over a well-quasi-ordered set is itself well-quasi-ordered. This seminal result by Higman is a cornerstone of the theory of well-quasi-orderings and has found numerous applications in computer science. However, this…

The notion of inverse Lyndon word is related to the classical notion of Lyndon word. More precisely, inverse Lyndon words are all and only the nonempty prefixes of the powers of the anti-Lyndon words, where an anti-Lyndon word with respect…
