Lempel-Ziv is an easy-to-compute member of a wide family of so-called macro schemes; it restricts pointers to go in one direction only. Optimal bidirectional macro schemes are NP-complete to find, but they may provide much better…

An LZ-like factorization of a string divides it into factors, each being either a single character or a copy of a preceding substring. While grammar-based compression schemes support efficient random access with space linear in the…

We generalize Karp-Rabin string matching to handle multiple patterns in $\mathcal{O}(n \log n + m)$ time and $\mathcal{O}(s)$ space, where $n$ is the length of the text and $m$ is the total length of the $s$ patterns, returning correct…

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…

The aim of this note is to provide some reference facts for LZW---mostly from Thomas and Cover \cite{Cover:2006aa} and provide a reference for some metrics that can be derived from it. LZW is an algorithm to compute a Kolmogorov Complexity…

We study the complexity of constructing an optimal parsing $\varphi$ of a string ${\bf s} = s_1 \dots s_n$ under the constraint that given a position $p$ in the original text, and the LZ76-like (Lempel Ziv 76) encoding of $T$ based on…

We propose algorithms computing the semi-greedy Lempel-Ziv 78 (LZ78), the Lempel-Ziv Double (LZD), and the Lempel-Ziv-Miller-Wegman (LZMW) factorizations in linear time for integer alphabets. For LZD and LZMW, we additionally propose data…

We give algorithms that, given a straight-line program (SLP) with $g$ rules that generates (only) a text $T [1..n]$, builds within $O(g)$ space the Lempel-Ziv (LZ) parse of $T$ (of $z$ phrases) in time $O(n\log^2 n)$ or in time…
