We consider succinct data structures for representing a set of $n$ horizontal line segments in the plane given in rank space to support \emph{segment access}, \emph{segment selection}, and \emph{segment rank} queries. A segment access query…
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 the fillable array problem one must maintain an array A[1..n] of $w$-bit entries subject to random access reads and writes, and also a $\texttt{fill}(\Delta)$ operation which sets every entry of to some $\Delta\in\{0,\ldots,2^w-1\}$. We…
Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a collection of $D$ documents, which are strings over an alphabet of size $\sigma$, of total length $n$. We describe a data structure that uses linear space and and reports $k$ most relevant documents that contain a…
The bijection between composition structures and random closed subsets of the unit interval implies that the composition structures associated with $S \cap [0,1]$ for a self-similar random set $S\subset {\mathbb R}_+$ are those which are…
The longest common prefix (LCP) array is a versatile auxiliary data structure in indexed string matching. It can be used to speed up searching using the suffix array (SA) and provides an implicit representation of the topology of an…
Succinct data structures give space-efficient representations of large amounts of data without sacrificing performance. They rely one cleverly designed data representations and algorithms. We present here the formalization in Coq/SSReflect…
Recent work by Elmasry et al. (STACS 2015) and Asano et al. (ISAAC 2014), reconsidered classical fundamental graph algorithms focusing on improving the space complexity. We continue this line of work focusing on space. Our first result is a…
We present a data structure that stores a sequence $s[1..n]$ over alphabet $[1..\sigma]$ in $n\Ho(s) + o(n)(\Ho(s){+}1)$ bits, where $\Ho(s)$ is the zero-order entropy of $s$. This structure supports the queries \access, \rank\ and \select,…
We show how to build several data structures of central importance to string processing, taking as input the Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT) and using small extra working space. Let $n$ be the text length and $\sigma$ be the alphabet size.…
Let $A$ be a static array storing $n$ elements from a totally ordered set. We present a data structure of optimal size at most $n\log_2(3+2\sqrt{2})+o(n)$ bits that allows us to answer the following queries on $A$ in constant time, without…
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…
In this paper, we study the static cell probe complexity of non-adaptive data structures that maintain a subset of $n$ points from a universe consisting of $m=n^{1+\Omega(1)}$ points. A data structure is defined to be non-adaptive when the…
Given a sequence of integers, we want to find a longest increasing subsequence of the sequence. It is known that this problem can be solved in $O(n \log n)$ time and space. Our goal in this paper is to reduce the space consumption while…
We present a first-order theory of sequences with integer elements, Presburger arithmetic, and regular constraints, which can model significant properties of data structures such as arrays and lists. We give a decision procedure for the…
We propose a B tree representation storing $n$ keys, each of $k$ bits, in either (a) $nk + O(nk / \lg n)$ bits or (b) $nk + O(nk \lg \lg n/ \lg n)$ bits of space supporting all B tree operations in either (a) $O(\lg n )$ time or (b) $O(\lg…
We say that a first order sentence A defines a graph G if A is true on G but false on any graph non-isomorphic to G. Let L(G) (resp. D(G)) denote the minimum length (resp. quantifier rank) of a such sentence. We define the succinctness…
Data structures that realize a dictionary are characterized by three basic instructions: (1) Insert (a new entry <key,value>). (2) Search by a key, returning the associated value. (3) Delete an entry. Known realizations are hashing schemes…
We present the first linear time algorithm to construct the $2n$-bit version of the Lyndon array for a string of length $n$ using only $o(n)$ bits of working space. A simpler variant of this algorithm computes the plain ($n\lg n$-bit)…
We describe an algorithm for compressing a partially ordered set, or \emph{poset}, so that it occupies space matching the information theory lower bound (to within lower order terms), in the worst case. Using this algorithm, we design a…
