Countless variants of the Lempel-Ziv compression are widely used in many real-life applications. This paper is concerned with a natural modification of the classical pattern matching problem inspired by the popularity of such compression…
We describe the first self-indexes able to count and locate pattern occurrences in optimal time within a space bounded by the size of the most popular dictionary compressors. To achieve this result we combine several recent findings,…
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…
In this paper, we propose a new \emph{dynamic compressed index} of $O(w)$ space for a dynamic text $T$, where $w = O(\min(z \log N \log^*M, N))$ is the size of the signature encoding of $T$, $z$ is the size of the Lempel-Ziv77 (LZ77)…
We prove that longest common prefix (LCP) information can be stored in much less space than previously known. More precisely, we show that in the presence of the text and the suffix array, o(n) additional bits are sufficient to answer…
We present an algorithm that computes the Lempel-Ziv decomposition in $O(n(\log\sigma + \log\log n))$ time and $n\log\sigma + \epsilon n$ bits of space, where $\epsilon$ is a constant rational parameter, $n$ is the length of the input…
In the distributed setting, the only existing constructions of \textit{sparse skeletons}, (i.e., subgraphs with $O(n)$ edges) either use randomization or large messages, or require $\Omega(D)$ time, where $D$ is the hop-diameter of the…
The suffix array $SA[1..n]$ of a text $T$ of length $n$ is a permutation of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ describing the lexicographical ordering of suffixes of $T$, and it is considered to be among of the most important data structures in string…
We prove a square-root space simulation for deterministic multitape Turing machines, showing $\mathrm{TIME}[t]\subseteq \mathrm{SPACE}[O(\sqrt{t})]$ \emph{measured in tape cells over a fixed finite alphabet}. The key step is a Height…
In this paper we study the adaptive prefix coding problem in cases where the size of the input alphabet is large. We present an online prefix coding algorithm that uses $O(\sigma^{1 / \lambda + \epsilon}) $ bits of space for any constants…
Given a string $S$ of length $n$, the classic string indexing problem is to preprocess $S$ into a compact data structure that supports efficient subsequent pattern queries. In this paper we consider the basic variant where the pattern is…
We deal with the problem of maintaining the suffix tree indexing structure for a fully-online collection of multiple strings, where a new character can be prepended to any string in the collection at any time. The only previously known…
The Karp-Rabin fingerprint of a string is a type of hash value that due to its strong properties has been used in many string algorithms. In this paper we show how to construct a data structure for a string $S$ of size $N$ compressed by a…
The well-known dictionary-based algorithms of the Lempel-Ziv (LZ) 77 family are the basis of several universal lossless compression techniques. These algorithms are asymmetric regarding encoding/decoding time and memory requirements, with…
Deterministic finite automata are one of the simplest and most practical models of computation studied in automata theory. Their conceptual extension is the non-deterministic finite automata which also have plenty of applications. In this…
Let $S_{T}(k)$ denote the set of distinct substrings of length $k$ in a string $T$, then the $k$-th substring complexity is defined by its cardinality $|S_{T}(k)|$. Recently, $\delta = \max \{ |S_{T}(k)| / k : k \ge 1 \}$ is shown to be a…
We show that if DTIME[2^{O(n)}] is not included in DSPACE[2^{o(n)}], then, for every set B in PSPACE, all strings x in B of length n can be represented by a string compressed(x) of length at most log (|B^{=n}|) + O(log n), such that a…
We describe a data structure that supports access, rank and select queries, as well as symbol insertions and deletions, on a string $S[1,n]$ over alphabet $[1..\sigma]$ in time $O(\lg n/\lg\lg n)$, which is optimal even on binary sequences…
Suffix arrays encode the lexicographical order of all suffixes of a text and are often combined with the Longest Common Prefix array (LCP) to simulate navigational queries on the suffix tree in reduced space. In space-critical applications…
We consider two closely related problems of text indexing in a sub-linear working space. The first problem is the Sparse Suffix Tree (SST) construction of a set of suffixes $B$ using only $O(|B|)$ words of space. The second problem is the…
