This paper is motivated by the k-nearest neighbors search: given an arbitrary metric space, and its finite subsets (a reference set R and a query set Q), design a fast algorithm to find all k-nearest neighbors in R for every point q in Q.…
The Binary Jumbled String Matching problem is defined as: Given a string $s$ over $\{a,b\}$ of length $n$ and a query $(x,y)$, with $x,y$ non-negative integers, decide whether $s$ has a substring $t$ with exactly $x$ $a$'s and $y$ $b$'s.…
Given a string $T$ of length $n$, a substring $u = T[i..j]$ of $T$ is called a shortest unique substring (SUS) for an interval $[s,t]$ if (a) $u$ occurs exactly once in $T$, (b) $u$ contains the interval $[s,t]$ (i.e. $i \leq s \leq t \leq…
