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 pattern $P$ and a text $T$, both strings over a binary alphabet, the binary jumbled string matching problem consists in telling whether any permutation of $P$ occurs in $T$. The indexed version of this problem, i.e., preprocessing a…
Binary jumbled pattern matching asks to preprocess a binary string $S$ in order to answer queries $(i,j)$ which ask for a substring of $S$ that is of length $i$ and has exactly $j$ 1-bits. This problem naturally generalizes to…
In binary jumbled pattern matching we wish to preprocess a binary string $S$ in order to answer queries $(i,j)$ which ask for a substring of $S$ that is of size $i$ and has exactly $j$ 1-bits. The problem naturally generalizes to…
We show how, given a straight-line program with $g$ rules for a binary string $B$ of length $n$, in $O(g^{2 / 3} n^{4 / 3})$ time we can build a linear-space index such that, given $m$ and $c$, in O(1) time we can determine whether there is…
We consider how to index strings, trees and graphs for jumbled pattern matching when we are asked to return a match if one exists. For example, we show how, given a tree containing two colours, we can build a quadratic-space index with…
Jumbled indexing is the problem of indexing a text $T$ for queries that ask whether there is a substring of $T$ matching a pattern represented as a Parikh vector, i.e., the vector of frequency counts for each character. Jumbled indexing has…
The classic string indexing problem is to preprocess a string S into a compact data structure that supports efficient pattern matching queries. Typical queries include existential queries (decide if the pattern occurs in S), reporting…
In this paper we describe compressed indexes that support pattern matching queries for strings with wildcards. For a constant size alphabet our data structure uses $O(n\log^{\varepsilon}n)$ bits for any $\varepsilon>0$ and reports all…
The binary string matching problem consists in finding all the occurrences of a pattern in a text where both strings are built on a binary alphabet. This is an interesting problem in computer science, since binary data are omnipresent in…
Two strings are considered to have parameterized matching when there exists a bijection of the parameterized alphabet onto itself such that it transforms one string to another. Parameterized matching has application in software duplication…
Let $S_1, S_2 \in \Sigma^*$ strings, we say that $S_1$ {\em jumble match} $S_2$ if they are permutations of each other. Given a text $T$ of size $N$ and a string $S \in \Sigma^*$, the problem of \emph{Jumbled Pattern Matching} (JPM) is to…
Given a text $T$ of length $n$ and a pattern $P$ of length $m$, the string matching problem is a task to find all occurrences of $P$ in $T$. In this study, we propose an algorithm that solves this problem in $O((n + m)q)$ time considering…
We consider the problem of indexing a string $t$ of length $n$ to report the occurrences of a query pattern $p$ containing $m$ characters and $j$ wildcards. Let $occ$ be the number of occurrences of $p$ in $t$, and $\sigma$ the size of the…
We consider string matching with variable length gaps. Given a string $T$ and a pattern $P$ consisting of strings separated by variable length gaps (arbitrary strings of length in a specified range), the problem is to find all ending…
Searching for all occurrences of a pattern in a text is a fundamental problem in computer science with applications in many other fields, like natural language processing, information retrieval and computational biology. In the last two…
We revisit the complexity of building, given a two-dimensional string of size $n$, an indexing structure that allows locating all $k$ occurrences of a two-dimensional pattern of size $m$. While a structure of size $\mathcal{O}(n)$ with…
The compressed indexing problem is to preprocess a string $S$ of length $n$ into a compressed representation that supports pattern matching queries. That is, given a string $P$ of length $m$ report all occurrences of $P$ in $S$. We present…
We consider document listing on string collections, that is, finding in which strings a given pattern appears. In particular, we focus on repetitive collections: a collection of size $N$ over alphabet $[1,\sigma]$ is composed of $D$ copies…
Given a binary string $\omega$ over the alphabet $\{0, 1\}$, a vector $(a, b)$ is a Parikh vector if and only if a factor of $\omega$ contains exactly $a$ occurrences of $0$ and $b$ occurrences of $1$. Answering whether a vector is a Parikh…
