The longest common extension problem is to preprocess a given string of length $n$ into a data structure that uses $S(n)$ bits on top of the input and answers in $T(n)$ time the queries $\mathit{LCE}(i,j)$ computing the length of the…

The Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) problem is a fundamental problem of sequence comparison. A natural approximation to this problem is a model in which every pairs of letters of two ``sequences'' are matched independently of the other…

The 2-LCPS problem, first introduced by Chowdhury et al. [Fundam. Inform., 129(4):329-340, 2014], asks one to compute (the length of) a longest palindromic common subsequence between two given strings $A$ and $B$. We show that the 2-LCPS…

Two strings of the same length are said to Cartesian-tree match (CT-match) if their Cartesian-trees are isomorphic [Park et al., TCS 2020]. Cartesian-tree matching is a natural model that allows for capturing similarities of numerical…

A border of a string is a non-empty proper prefix of the string that is also a suffix. A string is unbordered if it has no border. The longest unbordered factor is a fundamental notion in stringology, closely related to string periodicity.…
